Many students say that they were never really taught how to study, take notes, and prepare for exams. Study skills are important to be a success in college and they can be learned. Not only will they help you improve your grades, but they can also boost your self-esteem, and help you enjoy your college experience.
We offer study skills workshops during the fall and spring semesters. These classes are free and are a powerful way to stay ahead in college. Take advantage of the knowledge shared by the counselors who teach these study skills classes.
We also provide you with a long list of useful study skills links.
