Make sure you know what classes you signed up for, which campus they are at, the room location, and the times they meet. You can find this information by signing into the myMPTC portal, go to the student tab, and on the right side of the screen, click My Schedule. I recommend printing or writing down your schedule rather than trying to memorize it.
2. Check your student e-mail.
Sometimes instructor will send you an e-mail a few days before classes start. They may let you know what you need to bring or prepare for the first day of class or they’re just sending you a message to introduce themselves.
3. Make sure you have all your textbooks.
You can find out what books you need by going to the campus bookstore website and looking up the CRN (class registration number). You can also go directly to the bookstore with your class schedule and they will help you out.
4. Take inventory of your supplies.
Do you have all the notebooks, folders, and jump drives you need for your classes? Gather pens, pencils, highlighters, or whatever types of tools you may need for your program. Keep them all in one spot.
5. Look for welcome back events.
At the beginning of the semester there are usually entertainment acts performing on campus, free food, and/or giveaways. You can find out what’s going on by click on the events page of my blog, visiting the myMPTC portal online, or looking at the flyers posted in the halls on campus.
