Starting college is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're the first in your family to go!

Starting college is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're the first in your family to go! In this Student Success webinar, we’ll break down what college actually looks like so you can step into your first year with confidence and clarity. You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the college system (What is admissions? What does an academic advisor do?)
  • Navigate your first year and know what to expect in and out of the classroom
  • Identify key campus resources that support student success
  • Build habits for time management, independence, and self-advocacy

Come learn how to start strong, ask the right questions, and make the most of your college experience from day one!

This is an online webinar offered by tutor.com which hosts HomeworkAlabama.org, a service of the Alabama Public Library Service.
