 Common mistakes of first-time students!
 Taking too many credits
Some students simply enroll for too many hours of
credit. If in doubt, take less.
- Failing to take developmental work first
If you score low in reading and/or writing, it is important to
take the remedial classes as soon as possible. Strong reading
and writing skills will help you to succeed in college, and
all degrees require two writing classes.
Students in technical or science programs should also take
math as soon as possible, especially if they place into MATH 074..
- Failing to take a balanced load
It is important to balance some required classes
that interest you with some that don't. Likewise, mix some
required difficult classes with some easier classes so you stay
motivated and interested in
school. Stop and smell the roses!
