Students Success Tips
From Edison College

1. Attend New Student Orientation at the beginning of the Fall or Spring Semester.

2. GEN 101S, First Year Experience, provides excellent content and resources to be a successful student. It is likely that this class will be part of your first semester/

3. Be sure to attend all classes, and be on time.

4. To reduce distractions, sit near the front of the class.

5. Keep a copy of the syllabus for each class so that you will know what is going on, what you should be doing, and how soon you need to get it done.

6. Be a good listener. Focus and concentrate on main points.

7. Take goods in class, and review your notes within 24 hours. Then, review your notes periodically to help you retain information. Index card with key information are also a helpful way to review.

8. Study!  To be a successful college student, study at least two hours a week for every hour you spend in class. This is a minimum.

9. Determinate an ideal study space, and plan study time when you are at your best to retain information.

10. Maintain a student planner to keep track of important dates and projects.

11. Apply additional time management strategies, including planning, setting goals, and prioritizing schoolwork and your additional responsibilities.

12. Avoid marathon study periods. Instead, study for short intervals with a break in between. For example study for 30 minutes, take a 3-minute break, come back and review, then repeat the process.

13. Get to know other students in your classes for added support and to study together when possible.

14. Participate in class, and ask your instructor questions when needed. Meet with them during office hours for additional support and guidance.
