College Survival Guide

Introduction

The path to success can be complicated; there are many factors that will lead to a successful academic career. In order to be a successful student it's most important that goals are identified and clearly outlined. The goals will act as a path to success, it's very important to have a plan before the process of execution begins. All students must set goals realistically, and honestly. To successfully achieve goals there must be a system in place for time management and study skills. These systems will set the foundation for success academically; a very important part of success that many forget is involves the understanding of all school policies.

Utilizing all resources and information given by Axia College faculty is another tool that will help guide students on their journey. Understanding the academic honesty policy is essential; failing to understand it could jeopardize a student's academic career. The concept of distance learning isn't fit for every student, students who are successful are well grounded, and self motivated. Students must be willing to understand how the online classroom functions so they can utilize all resources available. Study habits and research skills must be mastered. There are many resources available through the University of Phoenix student library online. We are fortunate to live in an age where there is a significant amount of information on the internet. Its important understand how to make good judgments about which sources are used for research papers, and make sure all sources are cited in accordance with APA guidelines.
