You've reached the end of Module 6. These are the ideas to carry forward.

Key takeaways

  • Knowledge Application turns "I know that" into "I did something with it." Connecting what you know about yourself to real academic decisions is the skill.
  • Your interest results are a mirror, not a map. Look at your mix of interest types, not just the top one, and use it to find programs worth exploring.
  • Credentials stack. Certificates can build into diplomas and AAS degrees. AA and AS degrees are built to transfer. Knowing the difference shapes your path.
  • Plan like a strategist. Prerequisites, application deadlines, limited course offerings, and a realistic load matter as much as a schedule that fits.
  • Specific questions make better appointments. Bring your results, a direction, and your questions to your Success Coach.
  • Know how your grades work. Check each syllabus for points-based or weighted grading, and remember that credit hours weigh your GPA.
  • Use AI to think, your advisor to decide. Keep personal details out, and check every requirement with your Success Coach or the catalog.

What's the one question you most need answered before you register, and who will you ask?
