         <description><![CDATA[<p>Use this to plan out your schedule including when you sleep, eat, work, drive, meal prep, workout, etc. Try to find the little pockets of time you have to plan time to study outside of class. Knowing you only have a couple different times available for coursework outside of class can be very empowering. Tip: Schedule your study time just like work and it'll help you get into the mindset of making school a priority. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Need books or class supplies? The WCTC Bookstore has you covered with textbooks, materials, and supplies available both online and on campus.</p><p>To plan ahead, visit your <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.wctc.edu/WCTC/Academics/Program-List/A-Z-Program-List">program page</a> and check the “Program Cost” section for expected expenses and any additional required items. Many students wait until the first week of classes to hear directly from instructors about what’s required or recommended, but if you’d like to prepare early, you can find your instructor’s contact info on the syllabus in Canvas and reach out directly.</p><p><strong>Something to Note:</strong> About two weeks before a new semester starts, the <strong>"Find My Books"</strong> button on the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.wctc.edu/WCTC/Campus-Life/WCTC-Bookstore">WCTC Bookstore</a> website will display the specific materials you need based on your class registration. If your course lists “DDA,” that means your digital textbook is already embedded into your course—no separate purchase needed.</p><p>You’re also welcome to buy or rent your books elsewhere (like Chegg, Amazon, etc.). Just be sure to get the correct <strong>ISBN</strong> from your course syllabus and purchase the <strong>exact edition</strong> your instructor requires to avoid issues during class.</p><p>📚 Learn more or find your materials: <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.wctc.edu/WCTC/Campus-Life/WCTC-Bookstore">WCTC Bookstore</a></p>]]></description>
