   For a good start, set up a definite program for yourself and stick to it. A total of thirty to thirty-five hours is usually suggested as the amount of time you should spend studying each week. This is assuming that you're carrying fourteen to sixteen credit hours for the semester. 
   Although you'll plan your own individual schedule, you'll probably choose to begin fulfilling your core course requirements. If you are a student in the Liberal Arts College, you must meet standards in mathematics, rhetoric, natural and social sciences, literature, foreign language, and in the historical-cultural area.
   Your first classes may be lectures, discussion sessions, or labs; in all, you'll find yourself competing with other students of all abilities and all ages. Your best opportunity to get the most from all your classes in the long run, as well as to do well on your quizzes, mid-terms, and finals, is to do your assignments from day to day. You're a rare person if you can find time to "catch up" on work missed-there are just too many new demands on your time. Many instructors will put full responsibility for attending their classes on you. Don't be tempted to skip these classes; even if roll isn't taken, attendance is invaluable in every course. You'll find, too, that reviewing your notes daily will be profitable.
   To avoid getting off to a bad start, have the required texts on hand during the first few weeks of class. Your instructor will probably announce the texts for the course; however, the local bookstores have complete course lists on hand and can give you information on books. Four Iowa City bookstores and the student book exchange sponsored by the Student Senate can provide you with new and used texts. 
   If you don't want to study in your room, try the downstairs study rooms in Currier and Burge, or one of the many libraries on campus. The University Library offers new, comfortable study places, a quiet atmosphere, and all the reference books you'll need for term papers or outside reading assignments. The Physics, Art, Education and Chemistry Departments all have their own libraries. You may prefer to use the study room in Schaeffer Hall, and if you're a a student in the Honors Program, you'll also be eligible to study in the news Honors Commons Room off the Schaeffer Study Hall. SUIowans also find the Music Room or the lounges of the Union nice for study.
   If you have particular trouble with a course it's best to get help immediately. Course instructors are always happy to consult with you, so we suggest that you call upon them during their office hours. 
   Good grades and a feeling of accomplishment require responsible planning and efficient use of your time. If you establish goals right away and make a real effort to achieve them, you'll soon be able to say to yourself, "I'm On My Way" to success at SUI.
