LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR TRANSITION
Use this guide to help you find the resources you need to improve your wellness and thrive at Davidson-Davie.
STUDEN T W ELLNESS
BEGINNING COLLEGE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
Often the differences between college, high school, and early college students requires an adjustment based on the information below.
Classes, Grades & Choices in High School
Bells ring to tell students the start of a new class.
Students spend an average of 6 hours a day, 30 hours a week in class.
Students are provided with textbooks for each class.
Consistently good homework may help raise overall grades, even when test results have low grades.
Students can count on parents and teachers to remind them of responsibilities and provide guidance as they set their priorities.
Classes, Grades & Choices in College
Students are responsible for getting to class on time.
Students spend 12 to 16 hours a week in class. Students are also encouraged to spend additional time on campus studying in the Learning Commons.
Students are responsible for buying their own books for classes.
Students should check the course syllabus for how assignments are weighted.
Students will be faced with a large number of decisions, which will require them to balance their responsibilities and set priorities on their own.
Challenge
ADULT LEARNERS
Some students have additional challenges because of the responsibilities of work and family.
ACADEMIC
Some students experience doubts and fears about their ability to do academic work at the college level. Don’t be afraid to express these concerns to someone. College campuses have many resources to support student academics, such as free tutoring, help with writing, and even classes in effective studying!
BALANCE
Some students are generally balancing studies with other commitments. Marriage, parenting, work, and maintaining a home compete for your time, and this can create stress! Because you have a strong desire to be back in college, you can make it work, but you may need to make some adjustments.
What to Do: Support and Help
• Get to know your instructors.
• Ask for help. Ask early. Don’t wait until you are struggling and overwhelmed. The college has many resources to help students be successful. This includes, but is not limited to, the Learning Commons, TRIO Support Services, and Tutoring.
• Try to carve out specific time for your academic work.
• It may be easier to work away from home. Allow an extra hour or two on campus, or at the library, for reading or studying.
• Make a little time for self-care! Do whatever refreshes and energizes you—walking, exercising, reading for fun; when you take a little time for yourself, you may have a better attitude toward tackling the college work.
• Participate in campus activities; these activities are created to cater to all students.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
You could be planning to take classes at Davidson-Davie and then transfer, or transferring from another college.
Transferring to Davidson-Davie
When transferring to Davidson-Davie, ensure you have set goals and that Davidson-Davie will be the place to assist you in accomplishing those goals.

While at Davidson-Davie, participate in the following to engage and connect with your peers:
• Clubs and organizations
• Work study opportunities

• Athletic events
Transferring from Davidson-Davie to a 4-Year college/university
Start looking at four-year colleges or universities during your first, but no later than your second, semester at the college.
Look for the following information on the websites of colleges or universities you are interested in.
• Enroll in the ACA 122 transfer course
• Admissions requirements: GPA, number of credits, etc.

EIGHT HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE STUDENTS
Get involved and get to know people. Davidson-Davie focuses on leadership development through the Student Government Association, National Society of Leadership & Success, Ambassador Program, & More. Getting involved is correlated with higher grades and success in school.
Participate in Class (Online or In-Person). Davidson-Davie provides a variety of formats for classes, which include hybrid, online, and in-person. Whether in person or online, participating in class is vital to your success. Attendance can mean logging into your class or being physically present on campus.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether you use the Learning Commons for Tutoring or TimelyCare to talk with a counselor, Davidson-Davie wants to see you thrive. Oftentimes, that means asking for what you need. You may be surprised at what we have to offer.
Communicate with your Professor. Life happens, and we understand that fact. Your instructors have office hours so that you can schedule to meet with them one-on-one. Keep in communication with your instructor early and often. They can help refer to you the proper resource as well.
Use The Resources. Being at peace means that you are handling life and school. We don’t want them at odds with each other. Davidson-Davie Resources can help you with any of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness that may not be balanced in your life. We are here to help you.
Time Management & Organization Management are key skills. Going to college is often a step in the direction of finding a job or getting a better job. College not only teaches you book knowledge, but through that book knowledge, you also learn soft skills. Managing your time and being organized are some of those soft skills that you will develop and improve on this journey.
Goals! Goals! Goals! At Davidson-Davie, setting goals, whether short-term or long-term, we recognize this as an important skill for financial stability. Setting goals for getting your assignments completed, for studying for a test, or even just budgeting your scholarship money spending are all important.
Commit to the Process. While getting to graduation is the destination, the process of being in college is a journey. You will go through hills and valleys on this journey. Get ready for the journey, equip yourself with the tools, and use your resources to physically make it to the result!

The Flexible Spending Account (FLEX) is an optional pre-paid account available to students and employees.

The FLEX account greatly reduces the need to carry cash on campus.

LOST CARDS
Lost ConnectCards must be reported IMMEDIATELY to the ConnectCard Office at 336.249.8186 ext. 6341. The office is open from 8 am–5 pm Monday through Friday. Your card can be deactivated instantly, blocking the unauthorized use of your accounts or access features. Replacement cards can be issued from the ConnectCard Office at any time. A new card can be produced in minutes and will have the same account and access features as your original card. A lost card does not mean lost money, if it is reported promptly. There is a $10 fee to replace a lost card.
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS
Each cardholder who has a flexible spending account may request a detailed statement showing the beginning and ending account balance and an itemized list of all transactions per period from the ConnectCard Office.
