How can I succeed in the Foundation Program?

Time Management: Manage your time wisely to complete assignments on time. To learn about time
management, attend workshops given by the Success Zone and the Student Learning Support Center.

Checking emails: Frequently check your university email and Blackboard (Bb) for current information
on workshops, events and services.

skills and improve your assignments before submitting them. Attend midterm and final exam revision
