Welcome to College
This is an exciting step in your life and a fresh start. You are beginning your college academic career with a clean slate
and an opportunity to make the most 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 we have a few tips to help you be a successful student.
➢A
ttend all classes! For many students, skipping class is hard to resist, especially if it's a big lecture hall class
where the instructor doesn’t know you. If you don't go to class you will miss out on important information
and it will impact your grade. If you are out sick, be certain to contact your instructors to let them know why
you missed class, and find out what was covered.
➢ Learn to manage your time. Instructors will hand out a syllabi at the beginning of the term which tells you
when readings and other assignments are due. You need to take these syllabi and figure out how to best divide
up your time. 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.
➢ Learn to 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.
➢K
eep up on your reading. For courses with textbooks, complete reading assignments and reviews 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.
➢T
ake 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 talk. 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
Academic Support/Tutorial center, and 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 your 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 school considers you an adult, and sharing your personal information is illegal. Your parents
may be able to give you guidance about classes and your social life, and if you're lucky, they'll help you out
financially.
➢B
e 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 from campus for acting inappropriately.

Choose Your Educational Pathway
This orientation booklet has been designed to provide important information to help you achieve
a Great Start for your first semester at Cuesta College.
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:
Vocational Certificate or Associate Degree Pathway
Vocational and or technical training courses are designed to increase your skills for
employment. You can obtain a certificate in more than 70 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 70 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 turn to the next page.
California State University (CSU) Transfer Pathway
The 23 CSU campuses, including Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo are located throughout
California. On page 6 of this booklet, you will find a map with the locations of the
campuses. If you plan to be an elementary school teacher, or want to major in business,
interior/fashion design, criminal justice or kinesiology (physical education or pre-physical
therapy), choose this group. If you’re interested in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN),
choose this group rather than the AA/AS group.
University of California (UC), Private or Out-of-State Transfer Pathway
The 9 UC undergraduate campuses, including UC Santa Barbara, are shown on
page 6 of this booklet. The UC system is the most prestigious and competitive of the
higher educational systems. As a California Community College transfer student, you will
have top priority for admissions. If you are considering transfer to a UC campus, or an outof-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.

Choose a Major That’s Right for You! Here are the Steps: 1. C
ommit to choosing a major:
Whether your goal is an Associate Degree or University Transfer, you’ll need to select a major (academic subject)
and complete the courses designated 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. C
heck the chart:
Are you considering a major in the top half?
If so, you’ll need to take classes in your major, such as science and
math, your 1st 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: enroll in Math &
Economics your first semester.
“First Semester Major Courses” are listed on page 13.
Science, Math
Engineering
Art, Music, English,
Child Development, History,
Political/Social Sciences
3. G
et help in choosing a major:
If you are undecided on your major (as many college freshmen are!), here are some suggestions to help you!
➢ Take classes that you enjoyed in high school, or in an area that you might want to explore. What are your
strengths or hobbies? Skills and interests are important factors in selecting a major and career!
➢ Enroll in a Counseling Course:
• Counseling 156- Student Success prepares students for a successful college experience. This is a one
credit, 9 week course.
• Counseling 254 – Career Exploration will help you become more aware of your skills, personality,
interests and values. You’ll also learn more about potential majors and careers. This one credit, 9-week
class is CSU transferable!
• Counseling 261 – Career Skills and Job Shadowing can further expand your career, and major
exploration. It is also a 9-week, one credit class
➢ Visit the Transfer/Career Center:
• Explore the services and resources that are offered which include: career counseling, catalogs, books, and
online resources.
• Sign up for Career Assessment; you will meet with a Career Counselor who will explain your results.
• Use www.assist.org to determine which CSU/UC campuses offer your major. Major and Support
courses available at Cuesta College are listed as well.
4. M

Meet with a counselor to explore the variety of college majors that are available, and the related careers. The
counselor can assist you in developing a Student Education Plan (SEP) to map out your courses for each
semester!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. H
ow do I drop a class?
Students may drop classes via myCuesta or in the Registration Department. Deadlines for dropping classes are
printed on the first page in the schedule. This is your responsibility: never assume an instructor will drop you
from a class. Confirm that you are officially dropped by checking in your myCuesta account in the Steps to
Success Channel click on “Class Schedule/receipt.”
2. How do I add a class?
You can add classes on myCuesta before school starts. After the semester begins, you will need to attend the
class, and get an “add code” or have an add card signed by the instructor and submit it to the Registration
Department.
3. What if the class I want to take has a prerequisite?
If the course you wish to take has a prerequisite, then you need to complete the required prerequisite
course with a “C” grade or better. If a student does not meet prerequisites or co-requisites for a course as listed
in the class schedule, the student will not be allowed to enroll or remain enrolled in that course. To request
clearance of prerequisite coursework completed at a college/university other than Cuesta complete Form
A available online: http://academic.cuesta.edu/matric/index.html and submit to the prerequisite specialist:
[email protected] phone (805) 546-3100 ext. 2655, fax (805) 546-3113.
4.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 934038106. Second, verify that they have been received. Third, schedule a counseling appointment for an evaluation.
5. 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. A “PA” (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 “PA” nor “NP” grade will have any effect on your grade
point average.
6. How can I meet with a counselor?
Call (SLO campus) (805) 546-3138 or (805) 546-3162 or (NC campus) (805) 591-6241 to schedule a
counseling appointment. Most appointments are one half hour in length, and they are scheduled one week in
advance. For any quick questions, you can stop by our walk-in counseling desk and speak with a counselor.
7. What if I need Career Counseling or help planning to transfer?
The Transfer/Career Counseling Center assists students in making a smooth transition from Cuesta to a fouryear institution, and in exploring career possibilities. The center is located in room 3134 on the first floor of the
Cuesta College Library Building. Appointments can be made for the following week by calling (SLO campus)
(805) 546-3162 or (NC campus) (805) 591-6241, or the switchboard: (805) 546-3100.
8. How do I receive credit for my Advanced Placement (AP) Credit?
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). This evaluation will be made by the Counseling Department
after you have earned 12 credits at Cuesta. Once you have completed 12 credits at Cuesta, submit your
official AP scores to the Counseling Department for evaluation. 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. See a counselor for details.
