Tips for a Successful Academic Year

We know that life for our students is busy - working, volunteering, caregiving - all while trying to achieve your education and career goals.  Start your academic year by planning for academic success and following these tips:

Get Organized

  • Review your course syllabus and assignment deadlines.  Mark your calendar with important dates.
  • Plan for your online classes in your weekly schedule.  Students sometimes fall behind because they simply forgot about online classes - mark them on your calendar as if they were an in-person class and remember to participate weekly.
  • Log into  at the start of your day to find the platforms you will need as a É«ÀÇÉçÇø Global student, all in one place. Favorite items to keep your dashboard organized. Check out this . 

Communicate Often

  • If you run into trouble, reach out as soon as possible.  Your Program Mentor is there to help, but can't do so if we don't know what's going on.  will walk you through what to expect in an advising appointment and how your Program Mentor is here to help you.
  • Check your email to ensure that you are aware of deadlines, reminders, and support events.
  • Talk to your professors.  They are part of your success team and, like your advisors, can't help if they don't know what's going on.  Make use of their office hours for extra help, or to discuss any issues.  If you are struggling to meet deadlines, reach out in advance of the due date - they are more likely to grant extensions before the due date, rather than after the fact.

Find Support

  • Start a study group, either in person or online.
  • Talk to family, friends, colleagues - find those people who can help you keep motivated.
  • Make use of the resources listed below.

Focus on the Finish

  • Keep your goal in mind - every successful class puts you one step closer to achieving your goals.  You can do it!
