Plan BWhat is your plan if your primary mode of transportation breaks down or is unavailable?

Start planning now:

Do research on bus routes, take a trial run before classes

Check out Zimride

and carpool at least once

Have faculty phone number/email entered in your phone

Get Motor Assistance Plan (i.e. AAA).Slide18

Ensuring Success for CommutersAttend CAP, CAB, other

campus events;

Interact with faculty;

Meet other students in your classes;Give yourself a break between classes;

Be focused on Time Management;Check your ISpartan

Email or forward it to your personal; Check Bb

= Blackboard;

Utilize campus resources: Library,

Student Success Center, Writing Center - you paid for it!Slide19

Beware of Transfer ShockYour GPA does NOT transfer.

This is not like your previous college or university – do not assume UNCG does things the same way.

Students who use the Student Success Center, Writing Center, and Speaking Center are more likely to do better in classes and have higher GPAs.

Adult students – don’t “parent” your traditional aged peers.

If you are a transfer student coming into a program in Junior year – ask about department/faculty protocols. Transfers – hold on to your Syllabi. Slide20
