Six Tips for Success

Maintain balance.

Plan each day to leave enough room for your priorities. Allocate time for studying, work, family, friends and taking care of yourself.

Connect with your advisors and faculty.

Communicate with your advisors and faculty early and often. They can help you find resources, plan your future schedule, clarify university policies, procedures and deadlines and they can help connect you with future job opportunities.

Take advantage of resources.

UAF has a wealth of resources available to support your success. Not sure where to start? Ask your advisor or a professor.

Stay organized.

Hold on to your course syllabi and use a calendar or planner to track coursework due dates, exams and other important deadlines.

Be consistent.

Try to develop a routine for homework and studying. Review your notes regularly and begin studying for exams well in advance of the exam.

Reward yourself.

Celebrate your successes, big and small. You’ve earned them!
