Chapter 6: Avoiding the Hazards Along the Way

To begin this chapter, it is important to consider this thought question, as well as the issues presented in the chapter, because each student’s circumstances vary greatly.

While it is important to consider what the barriers are, it is more important to talk with important individuals in your life—parents, UT Arlington faculty and staff, a counselor, other successful students—about ways to solve your problems and remove those barriers, as there is a lot “banking” on your academic success.
