@confusedteen The scholarship isn’t changing. It’s already been announced. :slight_smile:

Do you know how to set up your visit?

HONORS COLLEGE CAMPUS VISITS (for those who will likely qualify for the HC)

If you do visit, be sure to set up a campus visit and then email the Honors College with the info (tour time, major, stats, etc), so that they can set up the rest of your day.

If you also have an interest in Computer-based Honors (CBH) or University Fellows Experience (UFE), indicate that in the email

Set up your tour here: http://tour.ua.edu/

Don’t delay setting up your campus tour! The tour is a mix of walking and riding in a small bus, so each tour is strictly limited to the number of seats on that small bus. Sometimes people delay and then they’re disappointed to find that there aren’t any tour spots available.

In the email to the below listed HC people, include:
Student’s name and contact info
Date and time of the Campus tour that you’ve reserved.
GPA and test scores (include likely NMSF if applicable)
Likely majors
Interest in Computer-Based Honors and/or UFE
Career interests (including med, law, etc)
Anything particular that you want to see. If you have an interest in seeing the new Science and Engineering Complex, the TV or radio stations, the B-school or what-have-you, let them know.

Applications for FALL 2016 do NOT open until August 1st

You can put in some info but when it comes to the drop down menu to select which term you are applying for,
FALL 2016 is NOT one of them.

I called Admissions last week after hearing some were applying, nope, NOT OPEN.
I had my DD sign in and we went thru the process and right when you get to the point to select the term to start at UA, FALL 2016 is NOT an option.

I am a parent of a rising jr at UA.

FYI: The only college application that I do know is open is Ole Miss. All others open August 1st.

23

Sorry for your difficulties, @TxNewCollegeMom , but my son has submitted his application as cited above, and I confirmed again this morning that with new applications for First Time Freshman, Fall 2016 is an option (along with Fall 2015, and Spring, Summer 2016).

I have heard from admissions that there won’t be any action taken until Labor Day, so we aren’t expecting swift movement. Not sure why you’re not seeing the same options as I and others have.

24

Not being argumentative, but I am currently looking at the application with Fall 2016 selected.

25

The options currently shown on the application for first time undergraduates right now are:

Fall 2015
Spring 2016
Summer 2016

and FALL 2016

26

Last week when I saw that some were saying they were applying, I had my daughter pull it up and we attempted and there was no Fall 2016 option. I then called Admissions and they told me that it was not up and it would be open August 1st.

I did just call and they did say it is open at this time.

I was told at my information session in June that the application for admission for fall 2016 would open July 1st, but I checked every day through July 6th and it was never open.

Welcome, my son is currently a sophomore at Bama as an ME major-aero and math minor, also stem MBA student. He has had amazing opportunities already. Landed a great summer engineering internship paying $25/hr. He was contacted by a prof he did research with last year through the emerging scholars program and now has a paid research position this semester working for Boeing. He loves his friends and the entire Bama experience. The best part of all this is he’s a NMF with an amazing 5 yr scholarship!!! Son #2 is applying now! Roll tide!!

Very excited about this school and the full tuition scholarship with his stats. Roll Tide!!!
