This is an exciting step in your life and also a fresh start. You are beginning your college academic career with a clean slate and an opportunity to take full advantage of this experience. With this comes a responsibility to make the most of your college education. You might need to begin to create new habits.
Below are tips to help you be a successful student.
Attend all classes! For many students, skipping class is hard to resist. If you don't go to class you will miss out on important information which could impact your grade. If you are out sick, make sure you contact your instructors to let them know why you missed class, and find out what was covered.
Manage your time. Instructors will hand out a syllabus at the beginning of the term which tells you when assignments are due. It is your responsibility to know and remember deadlines in each class. Use a planner/calendar to get a clear picture of due dates, deadlines and test preparation needs.
Balance work and play. Think about what you want from your college experience and make school your first priority! Your social life should come second to your school work, and you are the only one who can make sure that happens.
Study, study, study! Instructors expect you to study 2–3 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. In college, studying has to be a major part of your life outside of the classroom.
Keep up on your reading. For courses with textbooks, complete reading assignments before the class session. Also, expect the majority of your reading assignments and projects to be completed on your own outside of class. Read actively by highlighting, annotating and summarizing your texts.
Take notes on everything. In high school, your teachers probably gave you an outline of their lectures and told you what points would be on the tests. In college, the instructors often just lecture. Taking good notes and knowing how to pick out important information from lectures and textbooks is a valuable skill. Consider attending a workshop to improve these skills or take a College Success course to bring it all together.
Seek out help when you need it! Don't be afraid to ask for help from your instructors, counselors, the Student Success Center, and free tutoring in the writing/math labs. People will be happy to help you, but you need to seek out their assistance.
You get to choose your classes and major. In high school, many or most of your classes were chosen for you. In college, you get to choose your major and plan of study. This can be intimidating, and at times you may want help, so remember there are counselors here to help you!
Your parents won't be able to help as much. By law, instructors cannot discuss your school work with your parents. The college considers you an adult regardless of age, and sharing your personal information is illegal. Your parents may be able to give you guidance about classes and your social life.
Be an adult. Instructors will treat you like an adult, so make sure you act like one! Discipline problems will not be tolerated and students can be removed from class or campus for acting inappropriately.

CHOOSE YOUR EDUC ATION A L PATH WAY
Which educational pathway is right for you? You will be asked to decide which group best suits your educational goals. Below you’ll find an overview of each group:
EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 1Cuesta College Career Education Certificate or Associate Degree
Career Education and/or technical training courses are designed to increase your skills for employment. You can obtain a certificate in more than 50 fields at Cuesta College. These certificates can be obtained in a short period of time (1 or 2 semesters); the courses focus on a specific vocational area.
You can obtain an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at Cuesta College. More than 50 designated degrees are offered. You’ll learn about the general education and degree requirements for these majors in your group.
To view a list of degrees and certificates see page 3.
EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 2California State University (CSU) Transfer
The 23 CSU campuses, including Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, are located throughout California. On page 4–5 of this booklet, you will find a map with the locations of the campuses and information about this pathway. See page 5 for a list of majors that are offered primarily at the CSU. If you’re interested in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), choose this group rather than the AA/AS group.
EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY 3University of California (UC), Private or Out-of-State Transfer
The 9 UC undergraduate campuses, including UC Santa Barbara, are located throughout California. On page 4–5 of this booklet, you will find a map with locations of the campuses, and information about this system. The UC system is the most prestigious and competitive of the public higher educational systems.* As a California Community College transfer student, you will receive priority consideration for admission to UC, even above transfer students from all other colleges and universities, including students already enrolled at CSU and UC campuses. If you are considering transfer to a UC campus, or an out-of-state or private college, this group will guide you in selecting your first semester classes. During your first semester, meet with a counselor to discuss requirements for the transfer university you want to attend.
* Majors offered in the UC system include a strong focus in theory and research, and provide an excellent academic foundation for students who plan further study in graduate or professional programs, as well as for those who plan for direct entry into the workforce. US faculty rank among those who conduct research at the cutting edge of their field, and UC students have the opportunity to participate in research and internships with faculty throughout their undergraduate study.

CHOOSE A M A JOR TH AT ’ S R IGHT FOR YOU!T HE S T EP S
1. COMMIT TO CHOOSING A MAJOR: Whether your goal is an Associate Degree or University Transfer, you’ll need to select a major and complete the courses required for that major. The earlier you decide on a major, the more efficient you’ll be in selecting your courses. Most universities require that you complete major preparation courses prior to transfer.
2. CHECK THE CIRCLE: Are you considering a major in the top half?
If so, you’ll need to take classes in your major, such as science, technology, engineering and/or math (STEM), your first semester.
Are you considering a major in the bottom half (Liberal Arts)?
If so, you can focus on General Education, including a class in an area in which you might major. Note: Business majors should enroll in Math & Economics your first semester.
“First Semester Major Courses” are listed below.

Add codes may be entered in myCuesta by entering the CRN (course registration number) in the Add Classes Worksheet then validating the 4-digit add code. Deadline to late register with an add code is one day prior to the Census date posted in the Class Finder by clicking on the CRN.
How do I enroll in a waitlist slot?
Enter the CRN in myCuesta on the Add Classes Worksheet and follow the directions to enroll in the waitlist seat. Check your myCuesta student email daily (preferably twice a day). If a seat opens and you are next on the waitlist, an email is delivered to your myCuesta email and you have 24 hours from the date/time stamp of the email to return to the myCuesta Add Classes Worksheet to change the “Waitlisted” status to “Web Registered.” Fees will be assessed and may be paid once you are officially Web Registered.
What happens if I miss my waitlist reservation?
If you do not enroll within the 24-hour waitlisted notification deadline, you are deleted from the waitlist and the seat is offered to the next waitlisted student. Your only option is to re-enroll in an available waitlist seat to return to the notification queue. Add codes are not available to the instructor before the class begins nor will add codes be accepted online or in-person at registration services until the first class meeting. You may attend the first class meeting to obtain an add code on a space-available basis. See page 14 for more information on waitlists. cuesta.edu/student/studentservices/admrreg/ arpolicies/Waitlist
What if the class I want to take has a prerequisite, co-requisite or advisory course listed?
Prerequisites, co-requisites, and advisories are intended to enhance a student’s chance of success in a desired course. If a student does not meet a prerequisite or co-requisites for a course as listed in the class schedule, the student will not be allowed to enroll in the course. Successful completion of a prerequisite or co-requisite course is achieved by a final course grade of “C” or better.
Prerequisite: A course that a student must pass before enrolling in the more advanced course. Equivalent skills or prior experience that students possess may also be accepted as a prerequisite for a course.
Co-requisite: A course that a student must enroll in at the same time as, or prior to, enrolling in the desired course.
Advisory: A course that a student is encouraged, but is NOT required, to complete prior to enrolling in the more advanced course.
To request clearance of prerequisite course completed at a college/university other than Cuesta, complete a Prerequisite Form A. Students can challenge a prerequisite or co-requisite by completing the Prerequisite Challenge Form B. These forms are available online at cuesta.edu/student/studentservices/admrreg/prerequisites
What if I have completed course work at another college?First, send official transcripts to Cuesta College Records Office, P.O. Box 8106, San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8106. Second, check your myCuesta email to verify that they have been received. Third, schedule a counseling appointment for an evaluation.
What do I do if I received a 3, 4 or 5 score on Advanced Placement (AP) exam?
You may be eligible to receive college credit for a Cuesta course if you earned a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination (AP). In addition to equivalency to Cuesta courses, certain AP exams are also accepted towards fulfilling subject areas in the CSU GE and IGETC and Cuesta prerequisites. Submit official AP scores to the Records Office and complete a Prerequisite Form A.
Can I take a class Pass/No Pass?
We recommend that you see a counselor if you are thinking about taking a course Pass/No Pass. You can select “pass/no pass” grading for a regular semester course through the fourth week of instruction for full-term classes or through the first 20% of short term classes. A “P” (pass) will be received if you earn a “C” or better grade (and the credits for this course will be added). A “NP” (no pass) will be recorded if you earn a “D” or lower. Neither a “P” nor “NP” grade will have any effect on your grade point average.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL WITH A DEGREE AUDIT ONLINE!It’s amazing how much easier it is to get somewhere when you know where you’re going. myCuesta Pathway delivers access to real-time progress toward your degree completion, so you can reach your academic goals efficiently and easily.
FAQSWhat is myCuesta Pathway?
myCuesta Pathway is a degree audit program designed to help you understand the requirements for your major, degree, or certificate which may consist of core courses, general education, and electives. This is a web-based program that takes the courses from your Cuesta College transcript and reorganizes them to help you track your progress of your degree.
What are the benefits of myCuesta Pathway?
• See which courses you have completed in your major
• Identify remaining courses needed to complete your degree/major
• See what courses you have taken that do not count toward your major
• View the grades or waivers applied to your transcript
• Confirm your grade point average (GPA)
• Find out how courses completed will meet other major requirements before you officially change your major
• Estimate how many semesters it will take you to graduate/transfer
• Select the right courses for the next semester
• Anytime/anywhere access to information
Does using myCuesta Pathway mean I do not need to see my counselor?
No. myCuesta Pathway is a tool designed to help aid and facilitate academic advising. Your audit is NOT an official evaluation. All degree and transfer requirements need to be verified by your Counselor prior to graduation. You also need to see a counselor if you have non-native transcripts.
Can myCuesta Pathway help me if I am considering changing my major?
Yes! There is a “What If” function that can be used to hypothesize a change in major and to see how far along you would be in your academic goal if you did change your major.
Is my degree audit the same as myCuesta College transcript?
No. Your transcript is arranged by each semester and is the final and official documentation of your academic record at Cuesta College.
How do I get started with myCuesta Pathway?
Visit bit.ly/mycuestapathway and check out the different tutorial videos and workshop training dates intended to help you take full advantage of the myCuesta Pathway tools available.
