Make sure to choose classes that fit their interests. It is best to get the general courses out of the way in order to make room for classes of interest! It is great to get involved with extra-curricular activities as well!

Do not stress! The school offers so many great services. Financial aid, including scholarships, the CAPS office for academic help, the bursurs/registration office for class sign up help, and I have yet to meet a teacher who isn't understanding!

Don't slack, don't skip classes, communicate with your teacher and classmates. All of the usual stereotypical incoming student warnings are stereotyped for a reason.

Be self motivated. Your instructors are spread pretty thin and will do what they can to help you, but they can't hold your hand. Remember this is meant as a stepping stone to move into a more advanced school.

Check this place out on one of there many open house dates. Make the rounds and get to know the professors and academic advisers you would be working with. Have a current student give you a tour and answer all your behind the scenes questions.
