Are you studying enough?

DID YOU KNOW?  Increasing your time spent studying is the simplest improvement you can make in your study strategies.  Keep in mind that “studying” isn’t just reading a textbook!  If it is a lecture or lab-based course, you will find yourself doing a combination of study skills, such as: reading, lab/project work, writing, reviewing notes or even making notes cards.




DROPPING COURSES

University policy allows students to drop one class or 4 credits with a “W.”  This means you could drop JAPN101 (6 credits, but one class) or ENGL 212 and KNES 155N (4 credits, but two classes).

Monday, Nov. 5 is the deadline to do this – but you can drop earlier if needed.  Go to TESTUDO, then click Registration/Drop-Add (You can drop on your own!  No permission needed unless you intend to drop more than 4 credits)
