ST. JOHNS RIVER STATE COLLEGE

Academic Success

Can’t balance school and work?
Having problems remembering important details?
Didn’t “Ace” that last test?

Becoming a successful student requires commitment and specialized skills. A successful student must be efficient, organized, and computer savvy. These students must also possess memory and problem solving skills. The Department of Academic Success and Retention is offering free workshops to enable you to develop these skills. Academic Success workshops are designed with an interactive/hands-on approach and integrate practical, real-life application.
