• Professors want you to succeed and they want you to move forward. You have to be there as well, and you must give 100%.

• If you don’t know, ASK! 
   

Kae Kriegel: 

• Remember why you are here! If the only reason is to get a degree, that’s fine.  Put up a note on your desk, or laptop.     
• Block off 6-8 hours a week for every class you have. If you have a 4-credit class, add at least 2 hours for each credit that you take, for example: 4-credit class X 2 hours of studying time = 8 hours per week, per class. 
• BE PROFESSIONAL. Take yourself seriously. This IS your job. You may not be getting paid, but you are ultimately building something that will improve your life. Treat school professionally.

Fardys Zambrana: 

• Read your learning contract in its entirety and email your professor with any questions right away.  
• Plan out your course schedule for the 15 weeks. If you're unsure how to do that, contact Academic Support and have them help you.  
• Time management will be your key to success! 
   

Lisa Brandler: 

• If you need help, ASK! Someone is always willing and usually able to help. 
   

Gloria Reed: 

• Remember what led you here and push through; the finish line is within reach.
