Secrets to Success

Secrets to a Student's Success

• Plan Your Classes Wisely …don’t bite off more than you can chew.
• Manage Your Time Carefully. Assume that most classes require two to four hours per week of out-of-class study time.
• Don’t overload your waking hours!
• Establish a good attendance record beginning with the first day of class every quarter.
• If you need to drop a class, make it “official” at the office of Student Services. Fill out a drop form.
• Abandoning your class will result in a grade of “F” and possible loss of financial aid.
• You must complete at least 67% of the classes you attempt, or you will be placed on financial aid probation.
• Know Your Instructor … Name, email, phone number, and office hours are all important.
• Seek Assistance . At the first sign of trouble with a course, ask for help at the Student Success Center, or visit with your instructor.
