Schedule a campus visit.
Whether you've never visited campus or it's been a while, a campus visit is a great way to meet your future classmates and professors, get a feel for your future home, and help you make your final college decision. Browse and register for a virtual or in-person connection at www.juniata.edu/visit.
Review your financial planning award.
If you have questions concerning your financial aid award, call your personal enrollment counselor or the Office of Student Financial Planning after receiving your financial planning award. Financial aid awards are mailed after your admissions packet. It will include your Juniata scholarship, and need-based aid if you choose to fill out the FAFSA.
Notify Juniata of your college selection.
Congratulations! You have made your final decision. Please return the enclosed form with your final decision. If Juniata College is your final choice, please include the $400 deposit. You may also pay your deposit online at apply.juniata.edu/apply/status. Don’t forget to contact all the colleges which you’ve been admitted and let them know of your choice prior to the date. You may want to consider depositing early since housing assignments are made based on when deposits are received.
