● Checking your email at least
once a day.
○ There are so many updates
that come through email. It could be a professor reaching out to you, or an
update from an organization you're in. It has helped me not miss important
information! I recommend at least checking it once a day or more.
● Stay organized
○ Staying organized can help in
so many ways. Keeping track of your Canvas calendar can help you keep track of
your assignments. Even keeping a planner to keep track of both assignments and
events that you have!
● Use campus resources
○ Our campus offers so many
resources to its students. There is something for almost everything you need
help with. These range from the Wellness Center, Writing Center, Career
Services (resume help), Student Success Center, TRIO SSS, and so many more!
● Go connect with your
professors
○ Connecting with your
professors can help you in so many ways. One of them being they will know you
and get to know your work ethic. The professors you have had multiple times are
some of the best people to get recommendation letters by. Connect with them by
talking to them after class or going to their office hours!
● Don’t be afraid to ask
questions
○ College is all about learning! Sometimes you will have to ask questions and that is totally okay! Speaking from experience, professors are willing to answer your questions; you just have to ask them! Yes it is scary at first, but asking questions can enhance your learning so much!
