Steps for Success

• Attend the first day of class. Study the course syllabus to understand the course requirements and the instructor’s policies.

• Attend all classes. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to make up the work missed.

• Plan to study one to two hours outside of class for each hour in class.

• Understand that being a student is like a job and often not an easy one. It takes work.

• Accept responsibility for your academic decisions.
  

Recommendations for success if you work and/or have family responsibilities:

• If you work 10 hours a week, take 16-19 credit hours per semester.

• If you work 20 hours a week, take 12-13 credit hours per semester.

• If you work 30 hours a week, take 6-10 credit hours per semester.

• If you work 40 or more hours a week, take 5-8 credit hours per semester.
