Devry Discovery Day, PRE- May 8th

I know several of you planned on attending the DeVry Discovery Day this Saturday, May 8th in Kansas City, but it has unfortunately been cancelled for the majority of students. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused for you all.

If I set you up for an advising appointment that day, you should still plan on attending.

I will be sure to let you all know the next PRE date as soon as I have it in my hot little hands!! Thank you for your understanding and remember I'm just a phone call away!

Congratulations Marissa Beauchamp!

She is the alternate for DeVry's Presidential Scholarship! As you guys know, this is our most competitive scholarship and out of hundreds of applicants, Marissa made the top 3!

Outstanding work Marissa, we are all very proud of you!

Financial Aid...

Please remember to add the DeVry school code to your FAFSA. If you have not completed your FAFSA yet,the deadline is passed. Please get it done so you can be considered for scholarships and government grants and so we can put together a final budget plan for you!

The DeVry school code is: 010727

Remember that even if you haven't made your final decision on where to go to school, it is important to get your FAFSA to every school that may be an option!

Testing...

Several of you still have not completed your assessment. It is crucial that you get this done immediately so that we can get you registered for classes! Please contact me if you need to get re-set up with the online assessment or if you have recieved your ACT scores in order to waive the DeVry assessment.

Welcome!

Hello Future DeVry Students,

Most, if not all of you, have met me face to face and we have discussed in great length your plans for your education as well as your career goals. At the very least, I have had detailed phone conversations with you and we have come up with a pretty good plan for your future together. That's the first and most important part of my job. It is also my favorite part. I have loved meeting and getting to know each and every one of you and I hope some day that I can claim to be a contributing factor to your success!

I will provide updates on scholarships, schedules, testing, registration, PRE dates, new and exciting DeVry programs and changes, and anything and everything I can think of that may be a resource to you all. I'll be providing helpful hints for college, scholarship and financial aid resources, and links to relevant information that could assist you on your educational journey.

This blog will be a great way for you guys to make comments, ask questions, and maybe get to know each other a little bit as well.
