NCAA Eligibility Center
Any student-athlete interested in playing at the Division 1 or 2 level must be cleared by the NCAA to participate. www.eligibilitycenter.org The student-athlete must log in using his/her NCAA ID or SSN and PIN. The Counseling office will be notified when a student registers and will send your transcript electronically to NCAA.
Net Price Calculator: The Net Price Calculator (NPC) is an online tool that provides estimates of college costs for prospective students, based on a set of inputs such as family income, size, and assets. THE NPC calculates estimated grant and scholarship aid and subtracts that total from the college's cost of attendance, resulting in an estimated net price. NPC then goes the next step and subtracts the student's estimated loans/financial aid to determine the estimated remaining cost.
For more information: https://professionals.collegeboard.org/higher-ed/financial-aid/netprice
New Website for College-bound Students with Disabilities: A new website - http://www.going-to-college.org has been developed to help high school students learn about living college life with a disability. The site provides video clips, activities, and resources that can help students get a head start in planning for college. Video interviews with college students with disabilities offer a way to hear first-hand from students with disabilities who have been successful. Modules include activities that will help students explore more about themselves, learn what to expect from college, and equip them with important considerations and tasks to complete when planning for college.

Work Permits: There are new directions for minors (ages 14-17) wishing to get a work permit.
1) Complete the on-line application: https://www.dllr.state.md.us/ChildWorkPermit/web/content/Home.aspx
2) Print the work permit. 3) Get the work permit signed by the minor (student), parent or legal guardian and employer (work permits are only valid when signed by all parties) During the 2014 session, the Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 467 that modified the requirements that must be met before a minor work permit can be issued. The change requires the Minor's parent or guardian to certify that the age on the minor work permit is correct rather than producing proof of age to an issuing officer. This change allows the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation to grant applicants the ability to download and print a work permit directly from the application website. The new system began July 29. Minors are no longer required to obtain their work permit from an issuing officer.
