Always double check all of your classes and obligations that must be fulfilled. Make sure you are enrolled in the correct classes. Apply and register early so that the classes are not full.

Take time for class and don't do them when you feel like it make a set day each week.

Don't go here for general studies. You will be disappointed in the quality of the classes. Don't go here if you are a special needs student. You will be disappointed. I have a good friend with AS. He is not getting the accommodations they promised him. Teachers and staff keep dropping balls. The accommodations staff members talk at him very fast and don't listen at all. I'm the only one listening to him. I'm encouraging him not to give up. It's very sad. I hope he gets through this and transfers somewhere that will be more understanding.

Do not get behind on your work because it can get overwhelming depending on your class schedule. Try to get a long with your instructor in order to have a healthy relationship and you can understand each other.

Utilize your academic advisor; they are a great help when deciding on programs and courses. The Dean and Assistant Dean are always willing to schedule an appointment with you and help in any way they can. Online courses are great; they run very smoothly and a student learns important information from their classmates through the discussion boards.
