Keys to Success

Attend your college's orientation session
Organizing your College Information ie. College student #, password, email address - need tech support?
- TIP: Open a note in your phone, and add this information where it can be easily referenced
Use this website to support you! Bookmark it, save it, add a quick link on your phone's homepage.
Log onto your college learning platform at least once a week to ensure you are up to date with communications, assignments and course expectations
Attend every class, on time. The dual credit moves FAST and missing one class is 3-4 hours of instruction. Attendance is key
Never get a zero! Always submit something. Any mark is better than a zero.
Map out the best route! Transportation is often the largest barrier, ensure you have used google maps to find the best route!
Ask for help early and often. Do not let it get to be too late, ask for help from your professor and contacts below as needed
