Use the resources on campus such as the Councilor's Office, Workforce, Financial Aid office, and most important use the Student Resource Center.

Handle all of your financial and enrollment tasks as soon as possible. Don't be caught in the big lines because you procrastinated. Go straight to the campus, and do it on less busy days (such as Saturdays or Wednesdays). Someone is always there to help, and they will not let you leave without fixing your problem.

Like any college, be persistent and work everyday toward your goals.

In coming students, as far as academic wise, like any other school should be sure to say on top of assignments. If you are planning on transferring to a University, then you will want to make sure each class taken counts. (transferable) A great tip I learned from a couple of my professors at CRC are to visit your councilor on the regular, at least one time every semester. Studies show that when students do so, they tend to graduate quicker than those who don't.

Before giving up on enrolling into a certain class because of it's capacity, be sure you attend that class the first day of college because there is a slight chance the professor is nice enough to let you enroll. The best way to find friends on campus is to join different clubs or organizations. Do not enroll into a class if you know you aren't going to pass, W's are not the prettiest things on your transcripts.
