Protect Your GPA
It鈥檚 important to make good decisions because they can impact your GPA. Many things you do, and often the things you don鈥檛 do (like not going to class or taking advantage of tutoring), can make a difference. Remember - you are in control of your academics and how you spend your time!
Manage All of Your Time
- Be sure to manage your academic time, personal time and keep your health in mind.
- Get a planner and make check lists to get things done. This can be traditional paper or even the calendar on your phone.
- Use your phone to your advantage. Set daily alarms to remind yourself to study, eat, sleep and exercise. Hey, while you are at it, you should probably make one to brush your teeth. Your roommate will thank you.
Time Spent Inside the Classroom and Out
- At Kent State courses are organized by units of credit hours.
- Each credit hour equals 15 hours of class time.
- For every credit hour, students are expected to spend two to three hours per week working outside of class on studying and assignments.
| Course Credit Hours | Weekly Hours Spent Outside of Class | Hours per Semester Spent in Class | Hours per Semester Spent Outside of Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 6 to 9 | 45 | 90 |
