Online Smart Start Focus Session

 

Our goal is to help you become a bit more prepared for college and especially for your first semester. Through the online focus session module, we will take you through a series of topics to ensure your readiness to achieve your educational goals here at Madison College. Topics include:

• Academic Preparation: Brushing up on your skills
• Financial Preparation: Making sure you have a plan to fund your education
• Personal Preparation: Arranging your life outside of school
• Health and Wellness: Developing healthy habits so you don’t get sick
• Mental Preparation: Getting yourself mentally prepared for college

We hope that you find the session helpful and thought-provoking. When you leave today, you will know more about what is ahead of you in this college journey so that you can take the time to prepare. And preparation is the first step on a journey to your academic success! 

The Focus Planning Preparation Checklist is designed to be completed after viewing the module. As you complete this quick checklist, be honest. No one else needs to see it but you. It will indicate to you the areas that you may need to address to get you ready for your first semester. If you check more than two statements in any area, you will probably need to take some action.

You can find all of the Madison College resources and services that will provide you with assistance with any issues that may impede your success on the back page of the checklist. Information about Madison College student development resources are also available online.
