The term counselor is one of the most important words you can learn while attending college.

Scholarships can be one of your greatest assets when starting an online college. A scholarship is a grant or payment made to support a student’s education, awarded on the basis of academic or other achievement. Getting a scholarship to help pay for your college education can make or break a college experience.
SUU offers many different scholarships and grants. These can be found on the SUU financial aid page under scholarships. There are many different scholarships which are offered by private organizations and there are many resources to help you apply.
Program
When it comes to academics, using a course syllabus is a huge ally. A schedule outlines what you can expect from class and when you should expect homework to arrive. Having the upper hand on when your class assignments and quizzes show up will keep you ready for class. Understanding your program and the flow of each of your courses will be essential for you and your education.
Zoom
The last term you will need to learn is Zoom. Zoom is the leading video conferencing and calling platform used by colleges across the United States. Familiarizing yourself with this program will help you succeed in the online world, especially when all classes will be on this platform.
