Tips for success

All students face challenges, and successful students develop strategies and skills to overcome them. Online students face some unique challenges as a result of their different learning circumstances. We have collected a few tips to help you start developing your own success strategies.

Tools for success

The College Success Guide on the library website offers information and tools to support online student success. The PCC Library has helped us to create a collection of resources to help students overcome challenges and identify tools to ensure success. This collection includes resources to help with:

  • time management
  • study skills
  • goal setting
  • motivation
  • learning preferences
  • technology skills

We hope that this collection will continue to grow, and students are encouraged to make use of student services like counseling, advising, and the guidance of their instructors as well in their pursuit of academic success.
