What is a Full-Time Student? Carry a minimum of credit hours per semester (4-5 classes) Take at least 16 credits per semester to graduate with an Associate Degree in 2 years or a Bachelor Degree in 4 years Because students are also working, typical time to complete a degree is usually longer

What is a Part-Time Student? Under 12 credits per semester Financial aid requires enrollment of at least 6 credits Insurance (health and car) may require full- time enrollment. Please check with your insurance company.

Expectations Your adviser will want to know if you need: – day or evening classes – certain days of the week, etc. Homework – For credits (full-time) expect to spend at least hours a week studying. Work – class + study time leaves hours a week for a job (60 hour principle)

Expectations by Faculty Faculty Video (link to video) Faculty Video Dr. Snow – Biology Dr. Hartsock – Biology & Chemistry

Manage Your Time The 60-Hour Principle Good time management is essential in college. Use a planner to schedule your weekly activities. Set and prioritize goals. Do not procrastinate. Credit hours/week Homework hours/week Employment hours/week Total60

Expectations for Wayne - Work Research shows that distractions break student’s concentration Arrive on time to class/work Power down cell phones & eliminate their use in class/work Be respectful of everyone’s learning /work place Eliminate talking & disruptions – Professors may ask students to leave if disruptions occur that impact the learning of others – disruptions at work Code of Conduct at Wayne College / policies at work

Having Academic Difficulties? Students may struggle academically in at least one class. What can you do? 1. Meet with instructor ASAP! 2. Smucker Learning Center for tutoring support 3. Meet with Academic Adviser to discuss scheduling / drop class options

Differences Between High School and College Responsibility of learning shifts from teacher to student College courses are more difficult – more application of learning College is taught in a shorter amount of time In college, most of the learning occurs outside the classroom Students are responsible for requesting help or support Take control of your future

Keys to Success Review current Curriculum Guide for your major Know the degree & prerequisite requirements of your program Undecided students should make an appointment for career counseling

Keys to Success… Research your ideal career area Take responsibility for your educational experience Attend class Ask questions
