Winter term at COCC starts the week of January 7th. Are you ready? Here are some tips for success this term:
1) Plan for winter driving conditions. Is your vehicle winter ready? If not, make sure you have a back-up plan for transportation. Always add extra travel time for winter driving.
2) Dress for the weather. You may need to walk to a campus shuttle stop or buildings around campus. Make sure you wear appropriate shoes for snow/ice and warm clothes. For extra support, consider purchasing city or urban crampons. These are designed to slip over the bottom of your shoes to provide extra traction for walking in snow/ice.
3) Check your COCC email account regularly, for potential room changes or class cancellations. COCC also communicates campus closures through the emergency notification system to the preference (email, text, phone) you indicate in your student profile. Campus closures are also listed on the COCC website and announced on various television and radio stations.
4) Don't let the winter blues drag you down. People are less likely to be active when the daylight hours are shorter and temperatures are colder. However, exercise has been shown to boost brain power, lower stress and elevate mood, all of which help you as a student. So consider ways of staying active during winter term.
5) Have some fun with this college experience! All work and no play is no way to live. Engage on campus. Find out more about college events from our website at www.cocc.edu and student enews.
