College Orientation Seminar-COS (Period TR)

This course is designed to help you explore all that higher education has to offer, to discover your own strengths, to learn to be a good thinker, and to develop the understanding and motivation you need to be a successful college student. Topics include making the transition to college, developing academic and life skills, and making the right choice for majors and careers.

 

Getting into college is indeed a great achievement, and takes a lot of effort. However, surviving in college, graduating, and starting a career is much greater achievement and takes much more effort. College Orientation Seminar focuses on post-secondary education and career success for RACS Seniors. It is designed to enhance student success and retention, to help create greater success in college and in life. In this course, you will learn many proven strategies for creating greater academic, professional, and personal success. The most important part of this course, however, is learning more about empowering yourself…learning who you are as a college-ready student, learning who you are as a human being, and learning what it takes for you to keep yourself balanced and on course to success. You may never again have an opportunity quite like this one to discover how to create a rich, personally fulfilling life. I urge you to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity.
