- Don’t skip classes. Keep up to date with your assignments. That way you won’t have to scramble at the end of the semester to get ready for exams.
- Use your spring break to get caught up, if you need to. If not, enjoy yourself. You have earned it.
- Watch for the partying aspect that follows spring break. Don’t get too caught up in it. Keep studying. Set aside time in the library.
- Don’t forget: time to withdraw from courses without penalty.
- Don’t forget to keep a balanced perspective. Try to study, relax and socialize, in good proportions.
- Don’t forget: see your faculty advisor.
- If you want to take a specific course simply because it interests you, do it. But don’t put off taking required or difficult courses for too long.
- Start thinking ahead to the summer, to your coursework in the fall and to selecting an academic major.
- Don’t forget: preregister for fall courses.
- Now is the time to manage your time effectively. Too many competing interests can make studying more difficult than normal. Keep things in perspective.
- If you need tutorial assistance, make sure you get it. Keep in touch with your advisor.
- Be aware of the social/cultural opportunities on campus. Be actively involved in student groups/organizations.
