Advice from a Veteran of EDLP Be sure to review the requirements for your program. ALWAYS meet posted deadlines; otherwise it will delay progress in your program. Start a portfolio or binder to keep track of informational handouts and other paperwork. ALWAYS make your own copies of paperwork that you turn in for processing.

Advice from a Veteran of EDLP Stay tuned in to your Sac State email where you will receive important correspondence that may be very helpful to you throughout your program. Take advantage of office hours and/or orientations or meetings where you can receive important information and advising. When you go into an office on campus, be prepared with your materials so that you can make the most of your visit.
