Pay attention in class and take notes. the exams are easy so long as you pay attention, some subjects are easier than others.

Don't buy books until after classes have started. Most of the books listed in the curriculum are never used. Start registration early. It can take awhile to complete.

Stay on top of your to do lists regarding admissions, cashier's office, and financial aid. These departments DO NOT communicate and I was once dropped from a class because the cashier's office did not tell admissions that I had paid for my classes, and I lost the opportunity to take the class.

be prepared when you tell people your school mascot is an artichoke and the colors are pink and green.

They actually like it when you ask for help here. You really need to actually show up for class because the classes are so small that they'll know when you're missing. Figure out your school email address and payment plan before classes start because they're tricky at first.
