10 Success Tips for Nontraditional Students in College, Tech School, or GED classes
Going back to school after a break? Try these suggestions.
#1. Talk to a school rep - somebody that can help you reach your goals, and take the classes you need. This could be a School Advisor, or it could be an online Teacher. Try the Advisor first. Then go back at least once a year to make sure you are on track.
#2. Keep a notebook and calendar, and check it daily. Write down all of your assignments, and also spread out large things like reports or papers.
