Check in with your Academic Advisor.
Meet with your advisor each semester to ensure you are staying on track with your academic goals.
Go to class.
Attendance is important to your grade and your success.
Be on time.
Arriving late to class is distracting to the professor and other students. More importantly, it causes you to miss course content.
Ask for help.
Ask staff, faculty, counselors or fellow students; don’t be shy! See a list of contact names and numbers and tutoring labs in the back of this handbook.
Be informed.
Get up-to-date information by reading College and student publications, including the Student Handbook, and by visiting the College website at www.com.edu. Be sure to get your COM ID and carry it with you while on campus.
Get involved.
Student Life events are emailed weekly and can also be found on the Student Life SharePoint page.
Communicate with instructors.
Visit/call your instructors during office hours and ask questions or email them.
Study.
Schedule daily study time, join study groups and attend tutoring sessions.
