  • Going Back to College Tips


    If you’ve been in college before, make sure you tie up any loose ends.
    For example, if you owe a college money, failed some of your classes, or defaulted on a federal student loan, you may have to resolve these issues before you can proceed.


    Don’t wait until the last minute.
    The college planning process is full of deadlines, many of which are tied to scholarships and financial aid.

    Prep your schedule.
    As an adult learner, you have plenty of things going on in your life. Begin adapting your schedule now to ease your transition as classes begin.

    Ask for help.
    Talk to professors and faculty about assignments and coursework, especially if you have questions or don’t understand. Seek out resources to help improve study habits or test taking. You can also get quick easy answers to general questions about the college online, Ask LaGuardia.
