Online Courses
There are currently no online courses available at UCM, perhaps due to the University's small size and the fact that it just opened up a few years ago. Honestly, it might be harder to fund online courses at the moment due to California's budget cuts. However, many of the classes have online systems for students to turn in homework.
Best Places to Study
- Housing Den
- Kolligian Library
Tips to Succeed
- Ask for help when needed.
- Get involved in activities and be open-minded. Remember, UCM is a fairly new school, so it's also a great chance to become a leader.
- Go for FREE tutoring. Think about it-more or less it's part of your tuition, so make use of it!
- Study at least four hours for each class you attend (common formula: three hours per unit).
- Visit TA and professor office hours.
- Work first, then leave partying for later. Get your priorities straight and remember the main reason you're at college: to get an education.
