College is your next big step—and at Pace, you're in charge. That means showing up, speaking up, and taking responsibility for your future. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own, but success starts when you take the lead.
Here’s how to get started:
- Check your Pace email—every day.
Opportunities, deadlines, alerts, and class updates live here. Want to stay in the loop? Make checking your email part of your daily routine. - Build a relationship with your academic advisor.
Your advisor is your go-to for course planning, exploring majors, and keeping your graduation goals on track. The earlier you connect, the more support you’ll have. - Show up—and say yes.
Go to that event. Try that club. Introduce yourself. Getting involved early helps you meet people, build confidence, and create a sense of community. - Ask for help when you need it.
Everyone needs support. Whether it's tutoring, counseling, or food assistance, Pace has resources to help you stay strong and succeed. Use them—they’re here for you. - Stay connected and take initiative.
You’re in charge of your time, your choices, and your experience. That means reading instructions, meeting deadlines, and asking questions when things aren’t clear. Being proactive is one of the best skills you can build here.
