Distance Learning

Student Success - Know CPR

Communicate. Keep in touch with your instructor. Email or call if you cannot make a trip to campus. When it doubt, check it out!

Persist. Keep a calendar with due dates. Stay in touch with other Internet students in your course. Watch for deadlines. Sometimes it is easy to put off things to the last minute. Maintain your Internet courses and stay on top of them. Don't procrastinate.

Read. Read all coursework material carefully. Don't be a victim of "not knowing because of not reading."
