Success Strategies for College ADD Students
Successful Transition Strategies
1. Carefully plan your first semester by choosing courses that maximize your strengths.
2. Use available academic support services such as tutorial services. Do not wait until you are failing to seek help!
3. Remember that the typical ADD student requires three times as much study time as the average student.
4. As an ADD student, plan on spending more than four years to successfully complete your bachelor's degree.
Avoid drinking. Alcohol can impair academic functioning in any student. However, studies have shown that alcohol negatively affects the ADD student at twice the rate as the average student!
