Tips for Success!

• Check the date of your enrollment appointment. What is this? The enrollment appointment is the first day of a student’s priority registration when they can enroll in classes for the upcoming fall/spring semester.
• Know your courses – dates, times, and types! Is it a lecture, lab, or discussion? Is it Online, in person, or a combination of both? Is it a 7 week session course or full semester?
• Check your University of Arizona email account (Catmail) at least once a day if not more.
• Manage your time well. Balance your responsibilities and set priorities.
• Go to class! It is now your job to attend your courses and one of the main factors in your academic success.
• Review class notes and text material regularly.
• Attend office hours regularly – you will begin to create your collegiate network.
• Take good notes and get a study group going! Don’t forget to utilize the many resources now available to you as a UA Wildcat such the Think Tank- a free and fee based tutoring network on campus, the Writing Skills Center, etc.
• If you have any questions – reach out to your professors, teaching assistants (TA’s), or advisors for help.
