Correspondence Course Survival Kit
Finally we want to leave you with a survival kit to prepare you for your chosen course.
Things you will need

- Calendar
- Be pro-active on forums
- Find a study buddy (this can be another online student or a student in your area doing the some correspondence course)
- Plan your schedule
- Be organised
- Stay positive
- Use effective study habits
- Stay in touch with your study instructor / assigned tutor
- Give the instructor notice of emergencies that will delay a required deadline

- Late nights and a too busy social life
