  1. Welcome to High School Student Orientation! Fall 2019 Semester Hosted by K-12 Relations, Division of Continuing Education & Community Engagement

  2. Introductions

  3. Texting K-12 Relations

  4. You’re a college student!

  5. Grades • You have to take this seriously…you are earning a grade on a college transcript that will affect your GPA and possibly admissions decisions to future colleges/universities • If you want to drop your class, you need to let us know by 4:00pm on Thursday, September 17th • If you’re struggling with your course, not going to class is not an option. Talk to someone! Tessa, your professor, your school counselor, someone!

  6. Academic Integrity & Resources • Cheating, plagiarizing, and other forms of academic dishonesty will result in serious punishment from UW-Green Bay and from your high school • You have access to academic resources • Writing/Learning Centers • Professors/TAs • Go to office hours, send an email, make an appointment

  7. Disabilities & Accommodations • If you require accommodations, we will connect you with Disability Services • UWGB will accommodate documented disabilities including: • Learning • Psychiatric/mental health • Deafness/hard of hearing • Mobility/systemic • Blindness/low vision • Traumatic brain injury

  8. Being successful in your course

  9. Sciences: Lab, Lecture, Discussion • Lab – 1x per week • Lab work based on lecture material • Lecture – 2-3x per week (depends if it’s a MWF or TTh class) • Learn new material from professor • Discussion – 1x per week • Gives you the opportunity to work with the TA and/or other classmates on material • Great place to ask questions, get clarification, seek help if you need it

  10. Syllabus • Contacting your professor • Your syllabus will have your professor’s email address – email you professor if you have a question/concern/will be absent • Office hours • This is time your professor has set aside specifically to meet with students; if you’re struggling/have questions, this is the perfect place to get 1-on-1 help • The times and location will be in your syllabus

  11. Syllabus cont. • Assignment schedule • Take a careful look at the assignment schedule • Use a planner of some kind to manage your assignments and keep track of tests/quizzes • TAs – students the professor has asked to assist with his or her class • May be involved in lab and discussion • Attendance • Attendance policies will be listed in the syllabus – pay attention to those! • If you know you are going to be absent (especially for a high school related reason) tell your professor ASAP so you can arrange to get notes from someone and/or reschedule if you miss a test or quiz

  12. Notetaking Handwritten Computer Do not let yourself get distracted Don’t be online when you should be taking notes Is a great option for English and history courses where there are a lot of notes Is a good option for courses with professors who talk fast • You’ll retain the info better • Is probably the best option for math and science classes, but is good for any class

  13. Textbooks • Read the textbook (seriously, actually read the textbook and study) • Professors will tell you if they expect you to bring it to class • You might not have to bring it at all • IMPORTANT: If the professor announces that you need an additional textbook or a material you don’t have DO NOT BUY IT YOURSELF. Let us know and we will get that material for you

  14. Parking Being on campus Food & Drink • We will take care of your parking permit today • It costs $76 – you can pay with cash, check, or credit card • You can park in any lot on campus • You are able to park on campus 5 times for free so if you don’t pay for your parking permit today, you will be okay for the first day of class • Your permit is tied to your license plate so if you bring a different vehicle than you usually do, your permit won’t transfer • Coffee, soda, tea, energy drinks, water, sandwiches, snacks available in many academic buildings, library, and Union • All places take debit/credit cards & cash • Meal plans not included for high school students • Work with Tessa if you are interested in a meal plan

  15. College Tips • If you have to go to the bathroom during class, leave and return quietly • Most professors won’t mind if you bring snacks/drinks to class • With the exception of science labs – don’t bring a snack to lab • The first class (possibly the first week) might seem super overwhelming (Looking at the syllabus and seeing how much reading/how many assignments there will be) but don’t get discouraged! If you’re still unsure after the first week, work with Tessa, your school counselor, and/or your professor • Try to sit towards the front of the room • It’ll be easier to pay attention • Try to sit in the same seat each time • There won’t be assigned seats, but college students will sit in the same place every time
