Tips for
Promoting Academic Success
The following tips have been identified by students
completing their freshman year. They could be useful when advising
students.
- Go to every
class.
- Buy a planner
and use it. Learning to manage time is one of the most important
skills a student needs to master.
- Know what
campus resources are available and use them.
- Get involved
and have fun. You can also learn a lot by getting involved in
student organizations, volunteering, and meeting people from a
variety of different backgrounds.
- Get to know
your professors. They all post office hours and take the opportunity
to meet them.
- Balance your
class schedule. Try to find one class each semester which you
know you'll enjoy and do well.
- Balance social
life and school work. If you are working more than 20 hours outside
of school, take the minimum credit hours to be full time.
- Get plenty
of sleep, exercise, and eat well.
These sound
like logical "common sense" hints, but hearing it from
a staff or faculty member may make a significant impression on the
student.
