Tips/Tools for Success

Monitor your academic progress, often. Use the Web Advisor or In Touch Kiosk to check your grades, academic standing and where you are within your Academic Program/Major (Degree Audit).
Take your prerequisite and core courses first. Check the Sinclair catalog; Master Course syllabi; Department’s Planning Guides or the appropriate Department Chairperson for assistance.
Check quarterly class bulletin/Web Advisor for important dates, i.e. registration, payment due dates, withdrawal dates.
Plan to complete sequences, and choose them carefully. Avoid taking labor intensive courses together in the same quarter. Some examples to watch are: Accounting with Math and Natural Sciences with Economics and Eng 112 with MAN 205 and LAW 101 with HIS and/or PSY. Check online Master Course Syllabi or an Academic Counselor for advice on a quarterly course mix.
Check the Business and Public Services Division website at: http://www.sinclair.edu/academics/bps for important information (transfer opportunities; program/course changes, etc.)
Resolve problems immediately. Keep course syllabi and talk over concerns with your instructors; they can be a valuable resource.
Read the Sinclair catalog/Student Handbook for College policy/procedure information.
Have questions/need help in meeting your academic goals? http://www.sinclair.edu/academics/lcs/counselors/ StudentSuccessWorkshop/index.cfmTimely information on study skills; time management; learning styles; GPA calculation; campus resources and so much more.
Alert your instructor if you know you will be absent to get missed assignments and/or class notes.
Review student email account (my.Sinclair.edu) frequently for important Sinclair information (campus wide and/or program-course specific).
