Academic Success

Our desire is that every COSAM student will become an academic success story and reach his/her personal and professional goals.  Obviously, this requires a certain amount of innate intelligence and aptitude.  However, more often than not, achievement of these goals depends on the mastery of several fundamental academic skills.  The following websites provide valuable information about how you can become a more successful Auburn student.

• Survival Tips (Top 10 Habits for Surviving at Auburn)
  • You may have been a success in high school with little effort.  However, successful Auburn students have learned that these things are essential to survive on the Plains.
• Time Management (There are Only 168 of Them)

  • To be successful at Auburn, you must master some skills that you may never have had to use before. Much like professional athletes who have had to learn new skills to make them competitive at their level of competition, you must master new skills to be successful at Auburn.
