Admissions

GO TO CLASS!!!! I know its tempting to skip since most professors don't take role but this will result in bad grades and is a bad habit to get into. Also, take advantage of all the resources SLCC offers its students, from cheap hair cuts, free doctor exams and free massages, to help from academic advisors and tutoring.

Sometimes it may seem like you want to give up. Never do! In the end you will be glad you didn't. It's well worth it.

My tips would be to develop good study habits (classes such as LE 1020 are good to take for college freshmen and everyone else), learn of the various resources on campus, start school with a good attitude, and set goals and achieve them.

I would suggest researching instructors before signing up for classes. Most of the faculty is great, but there are those one or two instructors you want to avoid. I would also suggest parking in the parking lots on the South side of campus. They are always less crowded then those on the North.

If you're looking for a fairly inexpensive college to attend while living at home/with parents, or even renting an apartment, SLCC is an option. But be aware that you won't get the 'experience' of on-campus living and there would probably be more young adults at a four-year college.

Stay in shape, don't be lax, pay attention to due dates and don't procrastinate. Set up your own pace and stick to it.

-Financial aid has deadlines for a reason, so get your registration/FAFSA in as early as humanly possible before the semester begins.
-Communicate with your professors! Good feedback, bad feedback, questions, can't make it to class, just check in! It works in your favor 99.9% of the time.
