Preparing for College
The college environment differs greatly from high school or other learning environments you may have previously encountered. According to the Oregon Post-Secondary Education Transition Guide:
"If students are interested in attending college, they need to know about and do many
things in order to be successful in that setting. This is particularly true for those who
wish to enroll in and complete Academic and Professional-Technical Programs."
The Guide lists the following key factors for a student’s success:
- level of interest and motivation
- independence, self-direction and self-advocacy skills, knowledge about him or herself
- academic abilities
- information about college programs and services
- resources for support."
These factors are equally important whether you are a traditional student transitioning from high school, or a student returning to school at a later time in your life.
