Getting Ready for Classes

A strong start to your college journey can make a big difference. The more acclimated you are to the campus and available resources, the more you can focus on your coursework.

• Books, supplies, and key course dates
  Get a copy of the syllabus for each class as soon as it is available to ensure you are fully prepared for the first day of class with books and other supplies. Add key course dates and instructor office hours to your calendar for easy reference.
• Class location
  Map out your class routes in advance, based on your schedule, to get to class on time and get a good seat.
• Campus resources and hours
  Locate key resources such as the bookstore, library, student health center, academic advising, dining halls, and campus security so you can find them quickly.
