Plan Your Time

Choose your preferred tool to keep track of your schedule, to-do list, and due dates. Some examples include a mobile app, wall calendar, or bound paper agenda.
Create a schedule which can include setting morning and bedtime alarms, dedicating time to your coursework, physical activity, and relaxation/down time.
Use syllabi and faculty communications to plan.
Try to keep all your materials together (pens, planners, textbooks, calculator, folders, etc.).

Your family or roommates will be better able to support your learning if they are aware of your needs.
Will you need a quiet space to do work or engage in online class discussions? Do you need to share technology resources?
Try using noise-canceling headphones/earbuds, and/or a white noise app if you are in a noisy environment.

Attend remote faculty office hours or email your professors with questions.
