Success in College

As a student, you have the basic responsibility for your own success: our responsibility is to assist you in reaching your educational goals.

Set goals and evaluate them

Ask: "Why am I here?  What do I want to do? Where do I see myself in four years?  What are my long-term goals?"

• Have a clear understanding of where you are
• Make a reasonable plan involving realistic goals
• Develop a realistic time frame for reaching your goals

Know what it takes to be successful

• Attend class regularly
• Complete all assignments by the due date

• Request help when needed
