Study Tip of the Week: Good Habits
Start Now and See Success!
Welcome to our Weekly Study Tip post! This week is about creating strong habits that will help you stay the course all semester.
Here are some tips for you, when it comes to habits:
1. Write down your goals and name a simple, daily habit you can do to help you progress towards each of them. For instance, if your goal is to pass a second attempt of CHEM101, a good daily habit might be "do ten minutes of extra practice problems from my textbook."
2. Come up with a cue and reward system for your habit. You'll want something to remind you to do the habit - a phone reminder, accountability text, or a built-in routine (like your morning cup of cofee) are all great cues! Then come up with a small (but real) reward, like ten minutes of your favorite show or a small piece of chocolate, for when you finish the habit - this will release dopamine that your brain will connect to the habit! Just make sure that while you build the habit, you always give yourself that small reward.
3. Track your progress - it's super motivating! You'll realize you don't want to break the streak. Here are some apps we love:
Want more? Come to our Wednesday Workshop on Wednesday, February 7, for an interactive session on habit creation!
Welcome to our first Wednesday Workshop of the Spring 2024 semester! This week we will continue our theme of Academic Resolutions.
In this workshop we will take you through interactive activities, group discussions, and personalized reflection towards gaining insights into effective time management, productivity hacks, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. Whether you’re aiming for higher grades, improved study habits, or enhanced focus, this workshop provides the tools you need to turn your academic resolutions into actionable plans.
This event will take place TODAY, Wednesday January 31, from 12-1 PM in The Learning Collaboratory (UC115). See you there!

Welcome to the Spring 2024 Semester!
Start the semester off strong with these helpful reminders!
Welcome back Retrievers! CNMS Advising is excited to have everyone back on campus and we are eager to help you tackle the spring semester! Whether you are starting your first semester here or aiming to cross the stage this May there are many important things to keep in mind in order to make this semester your most successful to date! Check them out below:
1.) The CNMS Advising Office will be holding walk-in office hours for advising support
Mo-Th 10AM-12PM & 1PM-3PM in UC 205. If you are a new/incoming student please feel free to drop by at any time. Returning students should follow up with their assigned advisor (see here). Advisors can assist with schedule adjustments, registration troubleshooting, and general questions. Walk-in advising support is on a first come, first served basis and may result in a lengthy wait time during busy hours. Scheduled in person and virtual appointments can be arranged via email (
CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu).
These specific walk-in hours will only be in effect during the schedule adjustment period (see below).
2.)
The last day of schedule adjustment (i.e. last day to add/drop/swap your classes) is Friday, February 9th. Make sure that you are happy with your classes, that you are FULLY registered for a minimum of 12 credits (if you need to be a full-time student), and that you have established a balanced plan for the semester. Feel free to
check in with your assigned advisor if you have any questions/concerns. First semester students can follow up with
CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for support.
3.) Take some time to update your record!
Check your myUMBC account to determine/confirm your declared major(s). If your record does not accurately reflect your plans you can submit an updated
Declaration of Major Form HERE. When completing the form, be sure to declare/ADD your new major intentions as well as remove/DELETE any unwanted programs.
Keep an eye out for next month's CNMS Advising Newsletter which highlights important dates, upcoming workshops, campus support staff, and helpful tips to help you SPRING back into healthy academic habits from day one!
Follow us on Instagram (
@cnmsadvising) for event notifications and study/success tips!
Here are some tips for you, once you've set your goals for the semester:
1. Create Action Steps
Break those goals down into smaller and smaller goals until you figure out what you can do every day to make a little bit of progress towards them. That might be ten minutes of drilling your Quizlet/Anki flashcards, or maybe ten extra chemistry or math practice problems. Goals aren't met in one fell swoop - you have to work at them every day!
2. Track Your Progress
We have a list of apps we love for progress/streak tracking and keeping a good calendar! Check them out:
3. Create Some Accountability
Try studying with a friend, even if you're doing different things! Or have someone text you every morning to ask if you did the habit you're trying to build. It helps to have someone check in or even work in a group.
