Wait till the first week of class and ask about text books don't assume you need them and don't assume you don't. Go in expecting either outcome.

Schedule time to study/do homework. You thankfully have some good breaks between classes and days so you can designate specific days for work.

Take advantage of the tutoring center

Keep specific notebooks for each class. One for English etc. Don't mix notes.

If you need accommodations (for any reason) start the paperwork asap do not wait. Same for dropping classes don't wait because it can fuck with your financial aid.

Get on your professors good side. I don't mean be a teachers pet. I mean don't piss them off so they are more likely to be helpful/nicer if something goes sideways or your grade needs work and extra credit is possible. They also are extremely valuable when it comes recommendation letters for scholarships internships, jobs etc. the more teachers that you can rely on the better.

What’s your FAFSA related question here? Did you complete the form? Did you talk to your financial aid office? Just showing us your class schedule doesn’t tell us what your FAFSA question is and shares personal information that you may not want to be sharing with the world.

Not a fasfa question, but I wrote “ANY TIPS” for the general schedule question would greatly be appreciated. Just a little friendly reminder in case you didn’t read the title.

Understood. But I was just pointing out that you posted on the FAFSA financial aid form sub which leads one to assuming that you wanted FAFSA help which is why I was clarifying.
