Here are the most important checklist to-do items for the next few weeks. For more information on these items, make sure you read this newsletter in its entirety and review the Welcome Website.
|
-
Submit required student health and immunization forms if you haven't yet (was due July 1)
-
Submit AP/IB test scores and the Request for Approval of Test Credits to the Oxford Registrar's Office if you haven't yet (was due July 1)
- We understand some test scores will not be released to students until after July 1, so we ask that students request for the testing organization to send scores to Oxford College as soon as their scores have been released. AP/IB credits will continue to be accepted after July 1. However, we cannot guarantee that requests submitted after July 1 will be processed prior to fall course registration in August. Be sure to send the scores directly to Oxford College (not Emory College/Emory University) for quicker processing.
