Tips to Succeed!

  1. Read and keep the textbooks! They will help you in classes and in your career. 
  2. Make friends and stay connected with the students in your classes.
  3. The program courses are designed to be harder than general courses. This is so that you learn and grow. Pushing yourself may seem hard at first but learning these skills will help you become a better dietitian.
  4. Be honest but kind in your teacher evaluations. 
  5. Take time for yourself and reach out if you need help.
