Admissions

Make sure you fill out the financial aid in time and also register for classes as soon as it is possible. Sometimes classes fill up fast and you will be stuck with hours that are not convenient. Stay focused and don't skip classes, as it is very easy to get behind when you start slacking.

Don't buy books unless you've been told you need to and moreover save your receipts.

Show up to class and always study because if you want to succeed the book will have to be your best friend.

I suggest you get referrals for teachers, either from friends or counselors. Also leave early, (not just the first day) depending on what lot your in, it can be very time consuming to find a spot-especially in winter. Register as early as possible, join a waitlist if need be, your chances are good.

Even though your friends may think that it is cool to skip class, you really shouldn't. First of all, it is very disrespectful to your professor-no matter how boring you think they are. Also, either yourself, your parents or the government is paying for your schooling, so don't let them down-or yourself. It drives me crazy when I hear people talking about skipping or partying when I am trying so hard to put myself through school with no steady income--come on people you really need to shape up and get your priorities straightened out. The last thing that I will say is that parking at macomb can be quite tricky sometimes. Make sure that you give your self enough time before your classes so that you can find a parking spot-in other words, don't leave your house at the last minute and expect to be on time for your class. Lastly, watch your speed and make sure you park only in a parking spot, I know it sounds ridiculous but I have seen many kids get tickets for not doing that.
