The assistant vice president and former dean and faculty member of a two-year college describes strengths and weaknesses that are specific to two-year colleges, then advises students on virtually all aspects of enrollment, attendance, and achieving academic success. Among the many details discussed are getting financial aid, planning and scheduling courses, developing good study habits and critical thinking skills, getting the most from counselors and faculty, transferring academic credits, dealing with problems that might arise on campus; and setting career goals.

The Pocket Guide to College Success provides straightforward and easily consumable coverage on all the topics typically found in a full-size college success text in a handy, affordable, highly-customizable format. Chapters on academic skills like time management, academic planning, and note-taking get students ready for success in class, while life skills like goal-setting, money management, and interpersonal communication help them throughout their entire collegiate experience and beyond. Perfect for use as a self-directed student reference outside of a first-year course (or where there is no such course), Pocket is also a full-course solution, available with a robust instructor’s manual and suite of digital resources to empower your first-year program. The third edition is included in the Bedford Select database, making it easy to take out chapters, add pre-built modules, or include campus-specific content such as campus maps, course outcomes, letter from a dean, or directory of campus resources. Choose your binding, customize your cover, and add digital resources like the ACES self-assessment—all with transparent pricing that updates with every change. From a full-course solution to a credible print companion for your program's online modules, there is a pocket for everyone.
