What should I bring on the first day of class?
We suggest you bring your class schedule, textbooks, a pen and a notebook that will fit a three ring binder or a three ring binder itself.
What happens on the first day of class?
The first day of class serves as an introduction to the course. You will meet your instructor, receive your syllabus (a summary or outline of the course), and learn more about the content and requirements of the class. You will have an opportunity to ask questions. You may be asked to introduce yourself. Most instructors "jump right in" with a lecture and/or activities, especially in weekend classes. It is very important that you attend class on the first day (and on all the other days, for that matter!).
What if I get lost?
Many students find it helpful to visit the campus before the first day of classes to find the rooms in which their classes will be held.
