Ten Tips for Student Success
St. Johns University
1. Attend your classes. Remember in the words of woody
Allen ‘Seventy percent of success in life is showing up’.
2. Know your Faculty. Make sure you know who your
teachers are, when their office hours are and how to contact them.
3. Make sure the faculty knows you. Sit in the front
of the classroom. Participate in class discussions. Consult with your teachers
during office hours.
4. Use a daily planner. Note the dates of exams. Assignments,
term papers, etc.
5. Be organized. Prioritize your responsibilities. Manage
your time. Remember everyone has the same 168 hours a week, only some of us use
them better than others.
6. Know your campus resources. Visit your Academic’s
Dean Office regularly. Become Familiar with the services and programs offered
by the Counseling Center, The Freshmen Center,
the Career Center, the Campus Ministry Office and the Student Life
Office.
7. Take care of your health. Get enough sleep. Eat well-balanced
meals. Exercise regularly. Make informed and mature decisions about alcohol sex
and drugs. Visit the Health Office as needed.
8. Work only as necessary. Try not to exceed 20 hours
during a school week. If possible, work on campus. Apply for financial aid and
loans if you need them. Manage your expenses very carefully. Get involved in
campus activities. It will help you learn valuable skills, expand your social
network and enhance your self-confidence. Seek out opportunities to apply what
you learn in the classroom.
9. Keep your eyes on the prize. Clarify your goals. Know
why you are in (high school or) college in the first place. Visualize your
success on a daily basis.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
