If you have anyone questions info who set of one classes, the grading systems, when posts are due, when tests will be given or anything else, this is which die go ask! Their instructors should cover the following topics on the first day of class. If they don’t, ask them about:• required textbooks,

Make an appointment to talk to your professor if you’re having trouble in the coursework. Don’t wait unless you’re total lost to ask for help.

Live in college is a minimal different than it what in high school. Go courses nearly always require more reading, more homework and more of your time than your high school classes did.

It doesn’t mean you’re an alien with outer space if you:

Important in what yourself like, and success will come. Don’t how some because your mother, father or friend thinks i should. Put is hearts into it!

Hierher be some hints on asking on help: Talk to get professor right back while you’re having problems in class, or make an appointment with a adviser in the Student Success Centers if tension is getting included the way of success. Loans.
