Starting a new college can feel overwhelming and every student wants to be successful. Survival in college doesn’t always come easy as there are so many new distractions of new-found freedom. New people, more time on your hands. But remember why you are in college. It may seem like a lot of fun to stay out all night and skip classes and no one will yell at you for staying out or even skipping a class. But stay focused and keep your eye on the prize, because you will only get out of it, what you put into it.
Picture your dream. To be able to visually see what you want to become can guide you through school. It shows you who you can be. As you go through school you will see your dreams getting closer and closer. Remember that your schooling is a true gift. And if you continue to work hard that gift will grow bigger.
When you are determining what program to take, think about where your interests lie. If you can study something you love. Select a program that will challenge you. Don’t stress about changing your program if you’re not happy in what you’re studying. Better to do it now than be stuck in a career that you don’t like.
How do you start making your dreams come true once you’re in school? By paying attention to your teachers, keeping regular attendance in class and getting involved. Attend each class, complete your assignments, group projects and study hard for your exams. Later on, you may want to ask your teacher for a recommendation letter. Teachers support students who take their education seriously. They also recommend them for scholarships and help with networking. Be that student.
Most colleges offer study groups, tutoring, writing centers, computer labs, math labs, libraries and career centers – all at no cost to you. Take advantage of your free resources. You can also join study groups. Studies have shown that successful students study an average of 20 hours a week, so whether alone, with groups or both make sure to get in your study.

Due to the current pandemic and the desire to protect the health of our students, Focus College is taking measures which incorporate social isolation.
We are suspending our Advanced Diploma and Office Manager courses for the week of March 16-20th, to allow for temporary distance learning to be set up. If any students do not have access to a computer from home, we request that they notify the college immediately. Further information on how courses will be delivered will be available as the week goes on. Please monitor your student email for further information throughout the week.
Our April intake, originally scheduled for April 6, 2020, will be extended to May 4th, 2020, with late intakes accepted. We will re-evaluate as time goes on and international travel resumes. Focus College will issue contract amendments and updated Letters of Acceptance for students to use when accessing the country prior to the start of the new semester.
Students, please ensure that your email is up to date and that you are able to receive communications directly from Focus College to speed these letters, as these emails will be sent to both your agent and to yourself.
***NOTE: If you are an international student planning to attend spring semester, and you are not impacted by flights, you will need to check into the college on your arrival. Please contact info@focuscollege.com as soon as possible if this is likely to affect you. ***
