Whether you’re a freshman coming to college or a returning student, there isn’t much certainty about the fall semester.
In addition, students should think about what kind of resources — including, technology, food assistance and academic help — that they might need to be successful in school, said Teresa Steinkamp, the advising director at the Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis. Students should also be thinking about how the fall semester may fit into their broader plans and goals.
“ Do you have a full understanding of the health-safety measures offered at schools with in-person courses? ” Families may also want peace of mind about the social aspects of the college experience. “I don’t know that a campus can monitor 24/7 every party, every gathering, every individual decision, but certainly knowing what the policy is going to be on the campus, is a legitimate question,” she said.
“ What if you can’t do your work-study position? Do you have all the resources necessary to cover your expenses? ” What does that look like in the fall if you can’t do your work-study position? Do you have all the resources necessary to cover your expenses? If not, how does that affect your ability to continue at that institution?
Given the economic uncertainty surrounding so many families, students and parents should also find out from colleges how they’ll help them afford the cost of school if their financial situation changes. That may already be the case for some students since need-based financial aid is based on income information provided by families from the 2018 tax year.
Here's something for universities, students (and MarketWatch) to keep in mind for the fall semester.
Teachable moment: Go home and self quarantine. Come back in 15 days if you can. If not, hopefully you will be off the ventilator in 30 days.
Thought Covid was over?
What happens? You miss classes for a couple of days of classes and then get on with your life! For young healthy people, it’s a freakin flu!
