Learning Strategies
The extent of your success in college depends on you!

Successful college students, including those with disabilities, realize that it takes a great deal of time, effort and commitment to earn a college degree or certificate.  Many who succeed have positive attitudes and strong academic survival skills.  What are academic survival skills?  They're strategies that you can learn to make your learning more meaningful and efficient.

Successful students also:

• Have learned how to learn.
• Understand that a number of factors determine how successful they are.
• Know how important it is to stay healthy.
• Have developed good organization and time management skills.
• Have learned how to take good notes and read their textbooks.
• Have learned how vital it is, not just to memorize important information, but to understand it, as well.
• Have learned how to prepare for and take tests, and when they have problems, they know where to go for help.

If you want to be successful and are ready to learn how to learn, click on the Learning Strategies Resource sites listed below.  You will find a host of strategies that will show you how to accomplish all of these things and more.  By the way, these strategies can help you succeed in life after college.
