  16. Differences Between High School & College (Tips from Taft Counseling Center, www.taftcollege.edu & http://smu.edu/alec/transition.asp) • In High School you rely on parents & teachers to remind you of your responsibilities and to guide you with setting priorities. • In College you must balance your own responsibilities and set your own priorities. • In High School you may study less than 2 hours a week at home and may only prepare last minute test preparation. • In College you need to study at least 2 to 3 hours outside of class for each hour of class.

  17. Differences Between High School & College • In High School teachers check your completed homework. • In College professors may not always check completed assignments but assume that you can perform the same tasks on tests. • In High School teachers may write information on the board. • In College professors may lecture non stop and you are expected to take your own notes.

  18. Differences Between High School & College • In High School teachers may approach you if they think you need help or accommodations. • In College professors expect you to initiate contact if you need help or accommodations. • In High School testing is more frequent and covers less material. • In College testing is usually less frequent and covers large amounts of material.

  19. TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Make college a high priority • Be responsible for your own learning • Read, save and consult the course syllabus (outline) which tells you exactly what is expected of you. • Attend classes daily • Get to know your professors • Get to know our support services (tutoring, counseling, etc.) • Pay attention to deadlines • Ask questions • Be open to learning
