Set Yourself Up For Success
- Understand how adult learning is different
Adult learners are result oriented and do well when learning is connected to their lives.
- Prepare to seek support for skills that you haven't used in awhile.
Use the resources available on campus to freshen up on skills such as reading, math, and studying.
- Don’t rush your timeline
It’s better to take a few credits each semester and keep up than to overload yourself with school, work, family, and financial responsibilities.
- Online Classes
Taking classes online is a flexible way to get a college education, but it does require self-motivation and self-management.
