Study skills and time management

Many students struggle with managing their time during college. They may put off assignments, thinking they can complete them at the last minute, only to find that they are overwhelmed. That, in turn, can lead to cheating, skipping class, or feelings of inadequacy.

The university has many resources to help students improve their time management and study skills.
