8 Habits for Creating Success as a College Student

When I work with college students there are 8 habits that will always create a successful outcome.

  1. Attend class regularly. If sick, let professor know in an email.
  2. Turn in assignments on time.
  3. Meet with professors weekly at office hours or make an appointment, especially if the class is difficult.
  4. Read emails and announcements from professors daily.
  5. Check syllabus for due dates.
  6. Check grades regularly to make sure no assignment is missing.
  7. Use a planner or calendar to keep track of assignments. This can be a hard copy or on the computer or phone. Update daily.
  8. Start assignments or studying for quizzes or exams as soon as assigned.
