Retrieval practice is when you actively recall information (concepts, ideas, etc) from memory and "put it on paper" in different formats (writing, flow charts, diagrams, graphs). At the LSC we often call retrieval practice "Blank Page Testing," because you just start with a blank piece of paper and write things down.

Being a college student is a different kind of challenge than you faced in high school. Sure, you're still going to class, taking exams, writing papers, and working on projects, but now your academic workload has increased, the work you produce is expected to be at a higher level of thinking, and you have less time to learn and master the concepts. . But perhaps the biggest difference between high school and college is that most of your work has to be done outside of class.

The good news is that you're capable of succeeding in college; you wouldn't be here if you weren't. You've demonstrated that you can excel academically. But that doesn't mean that you couldn't use a little advice or help every now and then. Below are some basic tips to help you navigate the challenges of college and find academic success.

Go to Class!
This tip might be self-evident; if it's not, make it a rule to live by. Some of your classes might not have attendance policies. Some may have attendance policies that allow you to miss up to three classes with no penalty. That doesn't mean you can treat attendance as "optional." Every time you miss a class, you miss out on a learning opportunity and you lose the chance to take your own notes. Finding out what happened and getting notes from a classmate is not the same as attending class yourself. Missing classes is the NUMBER ONE reason students fail or do poorly in college. Unless you have a deadly contagious disease, go to class-every time, on time.

Prepare for, Participate in, and Review Each Class
It is recommended in higher education that you spend two to three hours studying outside of class for each hour that you spend in class. Some students do more; some do less. For difficult classes, you might need to put in more study time. And for easier classes, you might get away with doing a little less. You might devote more study time to classes in you major than non-major classes. Regardless, you should prepare for, participate in, and review for each class, at a minimum. Prepare by completing any assignments or previewing what's scheduled to be covered in class time. Also, participate in class activities or discussions. Finally, review your notes or what was covered in class after. Actively preparing, participating and reviewing will help you retain what you've learned and save time when studying for exams.

Sit Up Front
Several studies have shown that sitting in the front of the class improves grades. If you sit up front, you can see and hear better, and are freer from distractions. Sitting up front also gives you a better chance to get to know your professors (see next tip). Lastly, the most engaged students routinely sit up front, so you're more likely to be surrounded by students who are focused on achieving. Get to know them. Become friends with them. Talk about the class with them before and after it begins. Ask them questions. Start study groups with them. This is especially important for students who are easily distracted.

Build Relationships with Faculty
Get to know your instructors. They are your single best resource for success in your classes. They're experts in their field of study and they know what it takes to be successful in their classes-better than anyone else! Faculty can also be a good resource for references and letters of recommendation when you apply for scholarships or grants, or when you apply for jobs, graduate schools and organizations. The better they know you, the better they can testify to your skills, work ethic, passion, drive and whatever else makes you awesome. And though faculty can be intimidating, they're more likely to complain when students don't ask questions or contribute to discussions in class or come to office hours than when they do.

Beat Procrastination
Procrastinating can affect your grades and create unhealthy stress. Students procrastinate for a variety of reasons: "The task is hard." "It's more fun to do something else." "I'm so overwhelmed by all the work I have to do that I don't know where to start." "I don't know what I'm supposed to do." "I work best under pressure." Figuring out why you're procrastinating can help you avoid or reduce it. Increasing your awareness of how you work best can show you what steps to take. In general, though, the best way to avoid procrastination is to stay on top of your work, set reasonable goals, break long or difficult tasks into shorter, more manageable ones, work in chunks of time and reward yourself with breaks, and keep your thoughts positive (instead of "I should have . . . ," say "I am going to . . .").

Know Your Mind and Body
When you get to college, you are likely to enjoy a level of independence beyond what you've experienced before. You are free to determine when, where, and how you study. Be mindful of the natural peaks and valleys of your alertness and energy levels throughout the day. Study when you are at your peaks. Schedule breaks, workouts or other leisure activities in your valleys.

Break Up Big Projects into Smaller Tasks and Schedule Backward from Due Dates
Major projects can seem daunting when they are first assigned. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, make a list of every step needed to complete the project. Working backward from the due date, assign each step its own deadline. Completing projects in small steps is more manageable than conceiving of the project as something that has to be done all at once. You'll produce better work if you schedule time away from the project and return to it fresh and energized. And you'll have less stress!

Sleep Well, Eat Healthy, and Exercise
Performing at your intellectual best requires that you take care of yourself mentally and physically. You have a lot of work to do, but there are always events taking place on or around campus that you want to participate in. Soak in all that college has to offer, but don't neglect your health to do so. It's easy to fall into a pattern of staying up late, being lazy, and eating junk food. Make sure that you reserve enough time to sleep, exercise, and eat well. The health of your brain depends on the health of your body.

Be Purposeful
If you don't know why you are reading, studying, reviewing, or problem-solving, you are merely looking over information on a superficial level. In order to truly expand your knowledge of course materials, how to apply that knowledge, and the larger conceptual connections learning will make available to you, develop clear and focused learning objectives for your study, reading, or reviewing sessions. As you begin, ask yourself, "At the end of this activity, I will be able to . . .". In order to create effective learning objectives, focus on the way your study activity fits into the larger themes or goals of the course. Consider how it will help you study for exams or complete projects or contribute to your ability to achieve the learning outcomes of the course.

Meet with an Academic Coach
For one-on-one help with time management, motivation, study skills, setting goals, or exam prep, go to HOWDY and set up a meeting with an Academic Coach.

National Data Fact Sheets on First-generation College Students

These fact sheets provide national statistics about the background characteristics, postsecondary experiences, and outcomes of first-generation and continuing-generation college students in the United States. Detailed information on data collection methods is included with each fact sheet. Scholars and practitioners are encouraged to use these fact sheets to compare national statistics about first-generation students to statistics about first-generation students at their own institution. These fact sheets also provide useful insight to advance research and scholarship specific to first-generation students.

When considering how the statistics in these fact sheets may relate to the students at your institution, please read the footnotes for important information, including definitions of key terms, the data source, and the type of student population that is represented on each sheet. The average profile of students at your institution may be very different from the national samples of undergraduates and first-time college students used for these fact sheets. Some statistics are shown separately by type of institution.
Note that while the Center recognizes the diversity of definitions represented by the term "first-generation college student," in these fact sheets, first-generation college student is defined as an undergraduate whose parents do not have a bachelor's degree. These fact sheets were produced for the Center by RTI International, an independent, nonprofit research institute. Accompanying each fact sheet is the respective suggested citation. These are accompanied by the National Data Fact Sheets released in 2021 about first-generation and continuing-generation college graduates.

Starting the Conversation: Talking to Family About Mental Health

6-7p.m. | SSB 3.200 -LCAE Lobby | Open to: Undergraduate Students

Join the Longhorn SHARE Project for an empowering peer-led conversation! Shame and stigma around mental health can affect many of us as first-gen students. Being on our own for the first time, adjusting to a complex institutional culture, and carrying the weight of our families' hopes and expectations is a LOT to manage -and if the people closest to us carry stigmatized beliefs about help-seeking for mental health, where can we turn for support and understanding? Is it possible to work through conflicting views about mental health without harming our relationships? How can we support each other as peers in overcoming self-stigma, normalizing common struggles, and harnessing our strengths and inner resources?

Let's gather together to share our experiences, concerns, and ideas over a cozy meal as a first gen UT "family". This is a students-only event without a formal hierarchy to ensure all participants' voices are heard and valued. Please register below to ensure we order enough food!

Please RSVP

How Many First-Generation Students Attend UT?

UT enrolls first-generation students in every college and school on campus.

More than 9,000 first-generation students are enrolled as undergraduates.

A first-generation college student is defined as a student whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not have the opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree. Many students whose parents have degrees from outside of the United States also identify as first-generation. UT is happyto support and serve anyone who identifies as first-generation. First-Generation Longhorns -including first-generation faculty and staff -are a fundamental part of our campus, a strong and proud part of the Longhorn family.

A focus on first-generation students was the platform of Alejandrina Guzman, 2017-2018 Student Government President. Her efforts helped launch a university-wide focus on first-generation students and included planning events such as the inaugural First-Generation Student Kick-Off Weekend and an annual networking event honoring Trailblazers of the Forty Acres in collaboration with the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement.

Ensuring first-generation students and their families are aware of and have access to the many resources available to them on campus is key to their success. With executive sponsorship from Executive Vice President and Provost Maurie McInnis, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly and Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement Dr. Leonard Moore, a charge was initiated in Spring 2018 to begin a First-Generation Commitment Working Group. The working group, which includes students, faculty and staff from units across campus, seeks to identify ways to increase support for first-generation Longhorns campus wide.

In Summer 2018, the working group partnered with New Student Services and Texas Parents, both of which are part of the Division of Student Affairs, to incorporate concurrent sessions for families of first-generation college students during Family Orientation. The 45-minute session welcomed 330 family members of first-generation students to campus, provided information on resources available to their students and answered questions about student life at UT.

Annually, first-generation students are honored as part of the national First-Generation College Celebration Day. This university-wide event brings together students, faculty, staff and alumni to celebrate the accomplishment and pride of UT's first-generation community.
