Help your Student Manage Exam Expectations

Exams are a time when stress levels are higher than usual. Many students feel stressed at exam time - having to revise a lot of information in a short amount of time and add to that not understanding course material can lead to added pressure.

Helping your Student to Avoid Procrastination

Posted in

Procrastination is the curse of many college students. By the time your student reaches college, many are already experts at avoiding the inevitable.

The result is seldom going to be their best work. This article explores ways to guide them away from procrastination.

First-Year Student Mandatory Advising and Requirements

Posted in

Parents-does your student know what classes he/she is going to register for next semester? Do they have holds? Do they remember how to register? We are here to help!

Academic advisement is fully underway this semester with students getting ready to register for spring classes. All first-year students are required to meet with an advisor before registration in November. Approximately 2,800 first-year students received a hold on their account for mandatory advisement. This hold will prevent students from registering for classes until they make an appointment for a one-on-one advising session. This hold was put in place so that students will be aware of the classes he/she is eligible to register for next semester. To remove this hold, students can contact either First Year and Undeclared Advising Services (678) 797-2860 or the department of their major.
