Academic Success

For a free information packet click here

Part of your GMC education is developing and refining the ability to critically analyze your situation and progress toward a solution. You are, and should be, the first person to judge your standing in your classes. If you have difficulty, seek help as soon as possible from:

Your professor;
Your advisor; and/or
Your Assistant Academic Dean.

Make use of the services provided in Library and utilize the available free tutoring services.

Treat pursuit of your educational goal like a job. You must work at developing a good routine, interpersonal skills, critical analysis skills, a system of how to get help, solutions to problems, how to anticipate potential problems, and how and when to have fun.

You don’t need to have problems to make use of all the support services; they may help you improve your ability to make that top grade.

Important Reminders

Course Load
Choose your courses according to academic need, study requirements, time restrictions, and Grade Point Average (GPA). Meet with our advisor to determine the most reasonable schedule.

Time
Life demands time management. The successful person is one who learns to control time rather than be controlled by time. Study assigned material before the class so that you are prepared to respond with some knowledge. Make a schedule and stick by it. Make room for a minimum of one hour of study per hour of class. Set priorities for study and for class work.

Help
Get the help you need at the time you need it. Don’t wait until the end of the quarter to ask for help. Make use of the academic support services at GMC and in the community. Don’t be shy. We all need help from time to time.

Control
Take control of your life and your success. Manage yourself before you are managed by circumstances that you could have changed. Remember that education is a part of real life, regardless of the excuses, you usually have to pay the price of hard work to achieve you goals.

Now
Many times we live in the past by making excuses or we live in the future by making big plans. You should be living in the “now.” Don’t put off doing what you can do now.
