First Generation StudentsHidden “Rules” to College

Turn off/silence your cell phone in class. Come to class on time Don’t “multitask” – it doesn’t work in

college Have your book open, eyes forward, pen or

highlighter in hand Take notes on key points, not every single word

PLAN time to study/do HW w/in 24hrs of today’s class.

Reflect: what is working for you, what isn’t.

Computer/cell phone Usage

During lectures, presentations, and discussion monitors (if we are in a computer classroom) should be turned off unless otherwise approved.

If you need to take a call during class hours, immediately leave the room.

Do not have an unrelated conversation (voice or text) in the classroom.

“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”
