Online Courses
Millikin does not offer online courses. However, the University can direct you to community colleges in the area that do offer these courses, and there are administration people that will answer any questions a student may have about registering for the courses. They will make sure that the courses will transfer successfully.
Best Places to Study
- ADM-Scovill Hall
- Big Blue Bistro
- Residence hall (dorm room might be the best option)
- Shilling Hall
- Staley Library (one of the upper floors is the best place for peace and quiet)
Tips to Succeed
- Attend all of your classes. Don't go to one class one day and skip the rest that same day.
- Do your homework on time.
- Get to know your professors.
- Go to class.
- Meet each professor after the first day of class.
- Remain organized. Organization is very helpful at college; a lot of work tends to pile up.
- Sit in the first two rows, stay alert, and ask questions.
- Take time for yourself.
- Though the temptation may be there, don't procrastinate. It'll do more harm than good.
