ThickEnvelope closes on July 1

Hi everyone, for the last time. Sniff. ThickEnvelope, including the bulletin boards, will close on July 1. We're expecting you to have moved over to the Class of 2012 website, including their bulletin boards. Also the discussion on Facebook has been pretty lively.

If you're still awaiting your student ID number or email address and you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you can claim your email address (also known as a CNetID) here.

If you are an international student and you don't have your student ID number, it's because you haven't turned in your I-20 forms to Isabel Gomez, and you need to do it immediately! When she receives your completed forms to get your student visa, she will email you your student ID number so you can claim your email address. Even Canadian students need to do some things, so pay attention to the letter you received in the admit packet and any emails she sends you.

Check back on July 1 at 3 p.m. to see our awesome new website. ThickEnvelope and the Uncommon Application are no more, but we're integrating them into the college admissions website with a new design. Lolcats will ensue.

Also, July 1 is the deadline to defer your enrollment for a year or two. If you still want to do that, just write an email to the dean of admissions, Ted O'Neill, and he'll approve your request. The only way he wouldn't approve it is if you're enrolling full-time in a degree-seeking program at another four-year university.

I'll see you all at orientation.
