1. Learn about programs and services that will benefit you throughout your student life at Big Bend, such as the Academic Counseling Center, Student Support Services, and the Student Success Center. 2. Visit the campus more than once. We want to address all questions and concerns of a potential student. To get the whole picture, a prospective student should tour the campus, sit in on classes and talk to current students, meet the faculty, contact academic advisors, make an appointment with financial aid and an academic counselor, learn about our campus security, join us at a Viking game, eat with us in the dining hall, visit the dorms, learn about the wide variety of clubs on campus, including Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and ASB, which provide opportunities to grow, lead, and earn scholarships, and go sightseeing in the City of Moses Lake and around Grant County. 3. Study hard to make the most of your education. What you gain in education and opportunity is in direct correlation to the efforts you put forth.

Do your work, your teachers will help, and you'll be successful. Don't make excuses.

Decide on your studies before you start. Stay up to date.

Learn all you can as fast as you can about what specific degree your looking for, or if you are transferring, what classes transfer out well. This will bring down the stress level, once you have a plan and know what to expect and what classes you are going to take. No money is wasted

Just maintain yourself active in your classes and you will be fine.
