This is an exciting step in your life and a fresh start. You are beginning your college academic career with a clean slate and an opportunity to take full advantage of this experience. With this comes a responsibility to make the most of your college education. You might need to begin to create new habits.

Below are tips to help you be a successful student.

• Attend all classes! For many students, skipping class is hard to resist . If you don't go to class you will miss out on important information which could impact your grade . If you are out sick, make sure you contact your instructors to let them know why you missed class, and find out what was covered.

• Manage your time. Instructors will hand out a syllabus at the beginning of the term which tells you when assignments are due . It is your responsibility to know and remember deadlines in each class . Use a planner/calendar to get a clear picture of due dates, deadlines and test preparation needs .

• Balance work and play. Think about what you want from your college experience and make school your first priority! Your social life should come second to your school work, and you are the only one who can make sure that happens .

• Study, study, study! Instructors expect you to study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class . In college, studying has to be a major part of your life outside of the classroom .

• Keep up on your reading. For courses with textbooks, complete reading assignments before the class session . Also, expect the majority of your reading assignments and projects to be completed on your own outside of class . Read actively by highlighting, annotating and summarizing your texts .

• Take notes on everything. In high school, your teachers probably gave you an outline of their lectures and told you what points would be on the tests . In college, the instructors often just lecture . Taking good notes and knowing how to pick out important information from lectures and textbooks is a valuable skill . Consider attending a workshop to improve these skills or take a College Success course to bring it all together .

• Seek out help when you need it! Don't be afraid to ask for help from your instructors, counselors, the Student Success Center, and free tutoring in the writing/math labs . People will be happy to help you, but you need to seek out their assistance .

• You get to choose your classes and major. In high school, many or most of your classes were chosen for you . In college, you get to choose your major and plan of study . This can be intimidating, and at times you may want help, so remember there are counselors here to help you!

• Your parents won't be able to help as much. By law, instructors cannot discuss your school work with your parents . The college considers you an adult regardless of age, and sharing your personal information is illegal . Your parents may be able to give you guidance about classes and your social life .

• Be an adult. Instructors will treat you like an adult, so make sure you act like one! Discipline problems will not be tolerated and students can be removed from class or campus for acting inappropriately .

1. Commit to choosing a major: Whether your goal is an Associate Degree or University Transfer, you’ll need to select a major and complete the courses required for that major. The earlier you decide on a major, the more efficient you’ll be in selecting your courses . Most universities require that you complete major preparation courses prior to transfer .

2. Check the circle: Are you considering a major in the top half?If so, you’ll need to take classes in your major, such as science, technology, engineering and/or math (STEM), your first semester.

Are you considering a major in the bottom half (Liberal Arts)? If so, you can focus on General Education, including a class in an area in which you might major . Note: Business majors should enroll in Math & Economics your first semester. “First Semester Major Courses” are listed below .

3. Get help in choosing a major: If you are undecided on your major (many college freshmen are!): » Take classes that you enjoyed in high school or a class in an area that you might want to explore .

» Sign up for a Major/Career Exploration Workshop offered monthly in the Transfer/Career Center.

» Visit the Transfer/Career Center:

• Explore the services and resources: career counseling, catalogs, books, and online resources .

• Use www.assist.org to determine which CSU/UC campuses offer your major and support courses available at Cuesta College.

4. Complete your Student Education Plan (SEP): Meet with a counselor to explore the variety of college majors, and related careers . The counselor will outline a semester by semester plan of suggested courses needed to complete your educational goal .

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How do I drop a class? Students may drop classes via myCuesta or at the Admissions and Records office window 13 or 14 in Student Services Building. Deadlines for dropping classes are on “Class Schedule/Receipt .” This is your responsibility: never assume an instructor will drop you from a class. Confirm that you are officially dropped by checking in your myCuesta account in the Steps to Success Channel click on “Class Schedule/Receipt .”

2. How do I add a class? You can add classes in myCuesta one day prior to the first class meeting. If the class is full, you will be offered a waitlist slot if

Add codes may be entered in myCuesta by entering the CRN (course registration number) in the Add Classes Worksheet then validating the 4-digit add code . Deadline to late register with an add code is one day prior to the Census date posted in the Class Finder by clicking on the CRN .

3. How do I enroll in a waitlist slot? Enter the CRN in myCuesta on the Add Classes Worksheet and follow the directions to enroll in the waitlist seat . Check your myCuesta student email daily (preferably twice a day). If a seat opens and you are next on the waitlist, an email is delivered to your myCuesta email and you have 24 hours from the date/time stamp of the email to return to the myCuesta Add Classes Worksheet to change the “Waitlisted” status to “Web Registered .” Fees will be assessed and may be paid once you are officially Web Registered.

4. What happens if I miss my waitlist reservation? If you do not enroll within the 24 hour waitlisted notification deadline, you are deleted from the waitlist and the seat is offered to

the next waitlisted student. Your only option is to re-enroll in an available waitlist seat to return to the notification queue. Add codes are not available to the instructor before the class begins nor will add codes be accepted online or in-person at registration services until the first class meeting. You may attend the first class meeting to obtain an add code on a space-available basis. See page 14 for more information on waitlists . www.cuesta.edu/student/studentservices/admrreg/arpolicies/Waitlist.html

5. What if the class I want to take has a prerequisite, co-requisite or advisory course listed? Prerequisites, co-requisites, and advisories are intended to enhance a student’s chance of success in a desired course . If a student

does not meet a prerequisite or co-requisites for a course as listed in the class schedule, the student will not be allowed to enroll in the course. Successful completion of a prerequisite or co-requisite course is achieved by a final course grade of “C” or better.

Second, check your myCuesta email to verify that they have been received . Third, schedule a counseling appointment for an evaluation .

7. What do I do if I received a 3, 4 or 5 score on Advanced Placement (AP) exam? You may be eligible to receive college credit for a Cuesta course if you earned a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination (AP). In addition to equivalency to Cuesta courses, certain AP exams are also accepted towards fulfilling subject areas in the CSU GE and IGETC and Cuesta prerequisites. Submit official AP scores to the Records Office and complete a Prerequisite Form A .

8. Can I take a class Pass/No Pass? We recommend that you see a counselor if you are thinking about taking a course Pass/No Pass . You can select “pass/no pass” grading for a regular semester course through the fourth week of instruction for full-term classes or through the first 20% of short term classes . A “P” (pass) will be received if you earn a “C” or better grade (and the credits for this course will be added) . A “NP” (no pass) will be recorded if you earn a “D” or lower. Neither a “P” nor “NP” grade will have any effect on your grade point average.

FAQs

What is myCuesta Pathway?

myCuesta Pathway is a degree audit program designed to help you understand the requirements for your major, degree, or certificate which may consist of core courses, general education, and electives . This is a web-based program that takes the courses from your Cuesta College transcript and reorganizes them to help you track your progress of your degree .

What are the benefits of myCuesta Pathway? • See which courses you have completed in your

major

• Identify remaining courses needed to complete your degree/major

• See what courses you have taken that do not count toward your major

• View the grades or waivers applied to your transcript

• Confirm your grade point average (GPA)

• Find out how courses completed will meet other major requirements before you officially change your major

• Estimate how many semesters it will take you to graduate/transfer

• Select the right courses for the next semester

• Anytime/anywhere access to information

Does using myCuesta Pathway mean I do not need to see my counselor?

No . myCuesta Pathway is a tool designed to help aid and facilitate academic advising. Your audit is NOT an official evaluation . All degree and transfer requirements need to be verified by your Counselor prior to graduation . You also need to see a counselor if you have non-native transcripts .

Can myCuesta Pathway help me if I am considering changing my major?

Yes! There is a “What If” function that can be used to hypothesize a change in major and to see how far along you would be in your academic goal if you did change your major .

Is my degree audit the same as my Cuesta College transcript?

No . Your transcript is arranged by each semester and is the final and official documentation of your academic record at Cuesta College .
