FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NATCHITOCHES - Northwestern State University will hold its annual Spring Senior Day Saturday, March 3. Top students can get a head start on their college education at NSU's Credit Connection being held that same day.

During Credit Connection, students can earn college credit by taking an Advanced Standing Examination. Students with ACT scores of at least 25 or SAT scores of at least 1130 are eligible to take the exams which can result in credit being posted on the student's college transcript once they enroll at Northwestern. All tests will be given in Kyser Hall on the NSU campus.

Credit Connection begins at 8:30 a.m. in the A.A. Fredericks Auditorium. The first round of tests begins at 10 a.m. At 11:15 a.m., the second round of tests will be given with the third test at 1:30 p.m.

Simultaneously, NSU's Office of University Recruiting will be holding its annual Spring Senior Day beginning at 8:30 a.m. Representatives from each of NSU's colleges will be on hand to explain degree programs offered at Northwestern. A student panel will give a unique perspective on the university. Financial aid officials will also be on hand to discuss scholarships, grants and other available assistance programs for students. Also as part of Spring Senior Day, prospective students will get to tour Northwestern's campus and historic Natchitoches.

Lunch will be available in Iberville Cafeteria at 12:30 p.m. for $8.
