How College is Different than High School:

You have to arrange your own schedule and manage your own time.
You are responsible for knowing the requirements to complete your degree and applying for Graduation
The Academic Year is divided into semesters. During Fall and Spring semesters there is a 16-week sessions as well as a 1^st and 2^nd 8-week session. During the Summer semester there are 1^st and 2^nd 5-week sessions and one 10- week session
Classes in college are anywhere from 1.5 – 2.5 hours long and meet a couple days a week.
You need to spend at least 6-12 hours per week outside of class time studying
It is up to the student to remember when assignments are due.
Make-up Tests and Extra Credit are rarely an option and are offered at the Professor’s discretion.
You must pay for your college courses, and textbooks are generally NOT included in these charges.
If you have had an IEP or 504 plan and want to continue to receive accommodations, please contact the Accessibility Services Office.
