Adult learners in class

1. What is one of the biggest myths about getting a degree fully online?
2. What are some resources first-generation college students should tap into when pursuing higher education?
3. How do you know if the time is right to return to college?
4. What is one of the most important ways to become a lifelong learner?
5. What are some ways to smooth the transition from a two-year community college to a four-year institution?
6. When it comes to getting a job, who you know can often give you an advantage. What’s something that you should avoid doing when networking?
7. Federal law requires public and private schools to provide reasonable accommodations to students with a variety of disabilities. What’s something that is not necessary for you to do as a student with a disability?
