Advocate for yourself! All universities are confusing. If you have questions, please ask someone.

Creating a schedule What to include: ISEM 101 or Humanities/Social Science –3 credits Appropriate English Course – 3 credits Appropriate Math and/or science Course – 3 to 4 credits Introductory Course in your Major – 1-3 credits P.E., elective, etc.

For every hour of class time, you will have to study two hours. Rules of thumb: For every hour of class time, you will have to study two hours. Papers always take longer to write than you think they will. Math is a foreign language. You should practice it everyday.

Schedule for Success 14 or 15 credits your first semester Take an ISEM or humanities/social science course that really interests you Balance difficult courses Take elective courses just for fun Get some exercise
