SUCCESS THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASSES AND BEYOND!

  1. Buy all your books early and get a head start on reading the material.

  3. Make a weekly class/study schedule and a quarterly calendar of academic due dates.
  4. Find out how to contact your instructor, and where his/her office is located.
  5. Look for places to study on campus that are convenient, quiet, and comfortable.
  6. Locate the computer labs and tutoring labs on campus.
  7. Familiarize yourself with campus services and policies – read the student handbook, the class schedule and other campus publications.
  8. Find out deadlines and procedures for adding and dropping classes.
  9. Get help before there is a problem -- talk with your instructor, use the campus labs and tutors. Always get help if there is a problem – never try to do everything by yourself.

  11. Keep up with your studying and class assignments.
  12. Meet with your academic advisor during the middle of the quarter to plan your next schedule and develop an educational plan.
