Nine survival tips for first two weeks

COCC classes are starting this week.  Here are a few survival tips for you:
1)  ATTEND ALL - classes first week to avoid being dropped from a course or wait list
2)  TWO DAYS -  You have two days to submit signed registration forms for any classes you have added through instructor signature.  Submit those to Enrollment Services (located in Boyle Education Center in Bend or at front desk in Prineville, Madras or Redmond (Bldg. 3).
3)  DROP IT - Double-check your Bobcat account BEFORE the end of your 100% refund period/tuition deadline.  Don't rely on  non-attendance as a method of dropping a course.  You may find yourself with a bill and a failing grade, if you haven't officially dropped.

 4)  ADVISING - Drop-in Advising is available in the CAP Center at COCC every day this week (9am-5pm)
5) TUTORING - Need help with a course, visit your instructor during office hours and/or Tutoring and Testing Center
6) GRADES - Start monitoring your grades early- (check your grades every week in Blackboard)
7) FINANCIAL AID - Double-check status of financial aid in your Bobcat Account
8) TUITION DEADLINE - Pay tuition by October 5th, 5pm (and/or make payment arrangements through Cashier's office) to avoid late fees
9)  WORK STUDY - Have you been awarded a work study amount in your Financial Aid Award Letter?  If you have been awarded Work-Study funding, check the COCC Student Jobs website for an open positions.  Apply for those that interest you.  Go to www.coccstudentjobs.com
