General Information

Welcome to the OG Counseling Department! 
 
For important COVID-19 information and resources, please check out the links below:

  • UC
    • UC is sticking to their May 1st Intent to Enroll deadline. So, if you plan to attend a UC, you must submit your Intent to Enroll by May 1st. If you cannot pay the deposit at this time, you MUST contact the office of admission of the University you are planning to attend and ask them to "defer" your payment. Deferring a payment just means that they postpone the payment to a later time so you have more time to come up with the money. They are being flexible with transcripts and other verification documents. So, don't worry too much about the deadlines for documents BUT definitely submit your stuff as soon as you can. Lastly, if your family is seriously effected by COVID-19 and you need to delay your admissions to a different semester, each UC has their own policies and procedure for how they are handling this. You will need to call the admissions office at the UC of your choice.

If you still need to complete the application process for Palomar, please contact Ms. Mendiaz (kmendiaz@euhsd.org) or your Counselor. It's not too late to apply to Palomar, it's just too late to apply for the Promise. However, there are other resources we can tap into.

SAT: https://pages.collegeboard.org/sat-covid-19-updates
ACT: https://www.act.org/content/act/en/covid-19.html
 
Ms. Mendiaz is currently working with both SAT & ACT to setup additional test dates for OGHS students. She will make sure to schedule them as early as possible so that you all have time to retake the exam, if you wish to do so. 
 
For students who registered for an exam date but didn't end up testing, ACT & SAT will not charge you to take the exam at a later date. The money you already paid will be carried over to your new exam date. ACT & SAT are predicting that they will be able to test in July but nothing is set in stone. 
Shoutout to Kristi Burch, School Social Worker at Del Lago, for this great social emotional resource!
