Tips for College Success

Talk to your professors on a regular basis. The more they know you, the more helpful they may be in and outside of classes.
Attend classes, even if you find the subject boring or hard to understand.
Utilize resources on campus: Library, computer labs, tutoring in the Learning Center, Career Development Center, Counseling Center, Financial Aid Office, Registrar’s Office, etc.
Do your homework (including papers, assignments, studying for exams/quizzes, and reading).
Create a schedule for each week—update it as new things are known to you.
Set aside at least two hours each day for studying in a quiet, distraction-free area.
Seek help from your academic advisor about options for your future courses, internships, and plans for a career.
Don’t procrastinate!
Do your own research on classes that you are interested in taking, as well as important information about your major—ask a faculty member if you have any questions or need clarification on anything!
Join clubs and organizations on campus to expand your social network and join activities—also look good on your resume!
Try to set up your semester schedule so that you have a balance of easier and harder classes each semester; also mix in general education courses with your major/minor courses to balance out your schedule each semester.
