This is an exciting step in your life and a fresh start. You are beginning your college academic career with a clean slate and an opportunity to make the most of this experience. With this comes a responsibility to make the most of your college education. You might need to begin to create new habits.

Below we have a few tips to help you be a successful student.

➢ Attend all classes! For many students, skipping class is hard to resist, especially if it's a big lecture hall class where the instructor doesn’t know you. If you don't go to class you will miss out on important information and it will impact your grade. If you are out sick, make sure you contact your instructors to let them know why you missed class, and find out what was covered.

➢ Learn to manage your time. Instructors will hand out a syllabi at the beginning of the term which tells you when readings and other assignments are due. You need to take these syllabi and figure out how to best divide up your time. It is your responsibility to know and remember deadlines in each class. Use a planner/calendar to get a clear picture of due dates, deadlines and test preparation needs.

➢ Learn to balance work and play. Think about what you want from your college experience and make school your first priority! Your social life should come second to your school work, and you are the only one who can make sure that happens.

➢ Study, study, study! Instructors expect you to study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. In college, studying has to be a major part of your life outside of the classroom.

➢ Keep up on your reading. For courses with textbooks, complete reading assignments and reviews before the class session. Also, expect the majority of your reading assignments and projects to be completed on your own outside of class. Read actively by highlighting, annotating and summarizing your texts.

➢ Take notes on everything. In high school, your teachers probably gave you an outline of their lectures and told you what points would be on the tests. In college, the instructors often just talk. Taking good notes and knowing how to pick out important information from lectures and textbooks is a valuable skill. Consider attending a workshop to improve these skills or take a College Success course to bring it all together.

➢ Seek out help when you need it! Don't be afraid to ask for help from your instructors, counselors, the Academic Support/Tutorial center, and the writing/math labs. People will be happy to help you, but you need to seek out their assistance.

➢ You get to choose your classes and major. In high school, many or most of your classes were chosen for you. In college, you get to choose your major and your plan of study. This can be intimidating, and at times you may want help, so remember there are counselors here to help you!

➢ Your parents won't be able to help as much. By law, instructors cannot discuss your school work with your parents. The school considers you an adult, and sharing your personal information is illegal. Your parents may be able to give you guidance about classes and your social life, and if you're lucky, they'll help you out financially.

➢ Be an adult. Instructors will treat you like an adult, so make sure you act like one! Discipline problems will not be tolerated and students can be removed from class or from campus for acting inappropriately.

This orientation booklet has been designed to provide important information to help you achieve a Great Start for your first semester at Cuesta College.Which educational pathway is right for you? You will be asked to decide which group best suits your educational goals. Below you’ll find an overview of each group:

EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 1 Cuesta College Career Education Certificate or Associate DegreeCareer Education and/or technical training courses are designed to increase your skills for employment. You can obtain a certificate in more than 50 fields at Cuesta College. These certificates can be obtained in a short period of time (1 or 2 semesters); the courses focus on a specific vocational area.You can obtain an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at Cuesta College. More than 50 designated degrees are offered. You’ll learn about the general education and degree requirements for these majors in your group.To view a list of degrees and certificates turn to the next page.

EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 2 California State University (CSU) TransferThe 23 CSU campuses, including Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, are located throughout California. On page 6 of this booklet, you will find a map with the locations of the campuses and information about this pathway. If you plan to be an elementary school teacher, or want to major in business, interior/fashion design, criminal justice or kinesiology (physical education or pre-physical therapy), choose this group. If you’re interested in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), choose this group rather than the AA/AS group.

The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special, new degree offered at California Community Colleges. The guarantee itself means that students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree and meet the CSU minimum eligibility requirements are guaranteed admission to a CSU, but not necessarily to a particular campus. With the special degree, you may be given a GPA bump when applying to an impacted campus outside your local area or an impacted major that is deemed similar.In addition, once at the CSU, if you are admitted and enrolled in a designated degree program you have the opportunity to complete your bachelor’s degree with as little as 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of coursework. A counselor will help you determine which CSUs offer bachelor’s degrees that correspond to your AA-T or AS-T degree. It is still important for you to apply to the schools that interest you and to follow admissions deadlines to be competitive. Visit page 6 for more details on the specific AA-T and AS-T’s we offer.

EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 3 University of California (UC), Private or Out-of-State TransferThe 9 UC undergraduate campuses, including UC Santa Barbara, are located throughout California. On page 6 of this booklet, you will find a map with locations of the campuses, and information about this system. The UC system is the most prestigious and competitive of the higher educational systems. As a California Community College transfer student, you will receive priority consideration for admission to UC, even above transfer students from other systems, including students already enrolled at CSU and UC campuses. Six UC campuses offer guaranteed admission to students who meet specific requirements through the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program. If you are considering transfer to a UC campus, or an out-of-state or private college, this group will guide you in selecting your first semester classes. During your first semester, meet with a counselor to discuss requirements for the transfer university you want to attend.

1. Commit to choosing a major: Whether your goal is an Associate Degree or University Transfer, you’ll need to select a major and complete the courses required for that major. The earlier you decide on a major, the more efficient you’ll be in selecting your courses. Most universities require that you complete major preparation courses prior to transfer.

2. Check the circle: Are you considering a major in the top half? If so, you’ll need to take classes in your major, such as science and math, your first semester.

Are you considering a major in the bottom half (Liberal Arts)? If so, you can focus on General Education, including a class in an area

in which you might major. Note: Business majors: should enroll in Math & Economics your first semester. “First Semester Major Courses” are listed below.

3. Get help in choosing a major: If you are undecided on your major (Many college freshmen are!):

➢ Take classes that you enjoyed in high school, or in an area that you might want to explore. What are your strengths or hobbies? Skills and interests are important factors in selecting a major and career!

➢ Enroll in a Counseling 254 – Career Exploration will help you become more aware of your skills, personality, interests and values. You’ll also learn more about potential majors and careers. This one credit, 9-week class is CSU transferable!

➢ Visit the Transfer/Career Center: • Explore the services and resources: career counseling, catalogs, books, and online resources. • Use www.assist.org to determine which CSU/UC campuses offer your major and the major and support

courses available at Cuesta College.

4. Complete your Student Education Plan (SEP): Meet with a counselor to explore the variety of college majors, and related careers. The counselor will outline a semester by semester plan of suggested courses.

Choose a Major That’s Right for You! Here are the Steps:

SUGGESTED FIRST SEMESTER MAJOR COURSESConsult with a counselor as there may be additional courses required for your major.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I drop a class? Students may drop classes via myCuesta or in the Registration Department. Deadlines for dropping classes are on “Class Schedule/receipt.” This is your responsibility: never assume an instructor will drop you from a class. Confirm that you are officially dropped by checking in your myCuesta account in the Steps to Success Channel click on “Class Schedule/receipt.”

2. How do I add a class? You can add classes in myCuesta one day prior to the first class meeting. If the class is full, you will be offered a waitlist

slot if available. If you are unable to enroll in the class before it begins, you may attend the first class and obtain an “add code” from the instructor if there is space available. Add codes may be entered in myCuesta by entering the CRN in the Add Classes Worksheet then validating the 4-digit add code. Deadline to late register with an add code is one day prior to the Census date posted in the Class Finder by clicking on the CRN.

3. How do I enroll in a waitlist slot? The majority of courses have waitlists assigned up to 75% of the class capacity. Enter the CRN in myCuesta on the Add Classes Worksheet and follow the directions to enroll in the waitlist seat. Check your myCuesta student email daily. If a seat opens and you are next on the waitlist, an email is delivered to your myCuesta email and you have 24 hours from the date/time stamp of the email to return to the myCuesta Add Classes Worksheet to change the “Waitlisted” status to “Web Registered.” Fees will be assessed and may be paid once you are officially Web Registered.

4. What happens if I miss my waitlist reservation? If you fail to enroll within the 24 hour waitlisted notification deadline, you are deleted from the waitlist and the seat

is offered to the next waitlisted student. Your only option is to re-enroll in an available waitlist seat to return to the notification queue. Add codes are not available to the instructor before the class begins nor will add codes be accepted online or in-person at registration services until the first class meeting. You may attend the first class meeting to obtain an add code on a space-available basis. See page 14 for more information on waitlists.

5. What if the class I want to take has a prerequisite? If the course you wish to take has a prerequisite, then you need to complete the required prerequisite course with a “C” grade or better. If a student does not meet prerequisites or co-requisites for a course as listed in the class schedule, the student will not be allowed to enroll or remain enrolled in that course. To request clearance of prerequisite coursework completed at a college/university other than Cuesta complete Form A available online: http://academic.cuesta.edu/matric/index.html and submit to the prerequisite specialist: prerequisites@cuesta.edu phone (805) 546-3100 ext. 2655, fax (805) 546-3113.

6. What if I have completed course work at another college? First, send official transcripts to Cuesta College Records Office, P.O. Box 8106, San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8106. Second, verify that they have been received. Third, schedule a counseling appointment for an evaluation.

7. Can I take a class Pass/No Pass? We recommend that you see a counselor if you are thinking about taking a course Pass/No Pass. You can select “pass/no pass” grading for a regular semester course through the fourth week of instruction for full-term classes or 20% of short term classes. A “P” (pass) will be received if you earn a “C” or better grade (and the credits for this course will be added). A “NP” (no pass) will be recorded if you earn a “D” or lower. Neither a “P” nor “NP” grade will have any effect on your grade point average.

8. How can I meet with a counselor? Call (SLO campus) (805) 546-3138 or (805) 546-3162, (NC campus) (805) 591-6241 or (Arroyo Grande campus) (805)474-3913 to schedule a counseling appointment. Most appointments are one half hour in length, and they are scheduled one week in advance. For any quick questions, you can stop by our walk-in counseling desk and speak with a counselor.

7. How do I receive credit for my Advanced Placement (AP) Credit? You may be eligible to receive college credit for a Cuesta course if you earned a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination (AP). Submit your official AP scores to the Counseling Department for evaluation. In addition to equivalency to Cuesta courses, certain AP exams are also accepted towards fulfilling subject areas in the CSU GE and IGETC and Cuesta prerequisites. See a counselor for details.
