  Student Tips for Success: Practice Opening A Lock

1. Hold yourself accountable by doing your classwork and homework.  Grades Matter!

2. Create a regular study space without noisy distractions. 

  • Is the television on?- Remember we can hear and see the television program.
  • Are you using your cell phone?- Remember we can see and hear you using FaceTime, texting, and looking down at your phone.
  • Set a timer and take short breaks
  • Fuel your mind with healthy snacks

3. Engagement Starts With You

  • Participate
  • Be Prepared
  • Ask Questions
  • Go For Any Extra Help Sessions or Office Hours

 4. Stay organized

Mindfullness:

  1. Take a Mindful moment – Practice keeping your body still and quiet while listening to silence.
  2. Deep breathing – Utilize an inhale/exhale rhythm.  Bring yourself back into focus and no one else.
  3. Relaxation – Bring your energy to a nice, calm state. Use relaxing music or guided imagery.
