Prepare for College

​

1.  Learn Basic Banking

You must know how to write a check, use a debit card, withdraw money, make a deposit, and balance your checkbook or checking account. Opening a bank account is a big step in becoming independent. Make sure you are aware of how much money you have in your account so you aren’t charged overdraft fees.

 

2.  Learn How to Do Laundry

If you don’t already know how to do your own laundry, now is the time to learn.

​

3.  Register for Classes

As soon as you can register for classes, do so. The sooner you register, the greater the chance that you’ll get into the classes you want—and need. If you need help selecting courses, contact your institution and speak with an adviser or admissions counselor.

 

4.  Attend Orientations

Orientation programs introduce you to the tools and resources available on campus to help you succeed.
