Make sure to always do your homework

Pierce College goes by quarters and not semesters. Keep yourself up to date with all of your classes all the time. Missing just one class can throw you off greatly. Be very organized and don't be afraid to ask questions. All of the professors here really want to be here and want to answer your questions!

I would advise a perspective student to plan ahead and think about what they might be interested in doing after they graduate. Select a degree that will benefit their needs the most. I would also advise them not to take the easy way out, that they should work hard for their grades and not just wing it or skate by without pouting any effort into school.

Make sure you check your required credits even if your counselor says you are good. Be responsible for your own education.

Pierce college is relatively a small campus so there is a better access to teachers and stuff. You can always find help from the librarians if you are doing a research. There is a Writing Studio where you can check your grammar with professionals without making an appointment.
