Discuss with a counselor what your goals are in college and ask for a master schedule before you even sign up for your first semester. This will ensure you can at least get most of the classes you are looking for.

Some helpful tips, the library has computers and printers that you can use for writing papers so don't be afraid to use them. The teachers all have emails so if you have questions no matter how stupid they are more than happy to answer. There are a lot of scholarship that are available to you and you can have a better chance of gaining them if you join a group like phi theta kappa or the honors program.

If you are a student looking to enroll at Cerro Coso, I would advice that you talk to a counselor and set up a long-term education plan, so that you know what classes you need to graduate and/or transfer. Also, be aware that a lot of the classes require and intensive amount of studying, so in order to succeed, you need to be focused and motivated. Finally, while still remaining dedicated to your school work, live a little and join some clubs!

My tip for all students in any college is don't slack off. College can be difficult if students make it difficult. If we postpone assignments to the last minute then of course the material will be difficult to learn.

Discipline yourself-do not take the easy way out! Extra credit is great, and always challenge yourself. Cerro Coso can really help prepare you for a four-year college later on. Most, if not every, class is transferable.
