<p>I was invited to join a Scholars Program and was wondering if sending my preference meant that I absolutely had to participate in the program if accepted. I’m not quite sure if I want to participate in one yet, but would like for it to remain an option. I have to send in my preference by Thursday, April 10, but I’m actually visiting Friday and would like to learn more about it while I’m there. Thanks for reading!</p>
<p>My son was offered Scholars but is not going to do it. If you do go and do not want to participate in Scholars, note that the orientation dates you were given were probably for Scholars, and there are other “non scholars” dates to choose from. I do not think you are locked in until you send in your housing contract (not 100% sure about this)</p>
<p>Participation is optional.</p>
