UT Tyler Summer Checklist

Now that the stress of finals is over and summer is here it’s all too easy to sit back and enjoy the break and forget to prepare for the fall semester. So here’s a quick checklist of things you might want to do before the fall semester starts up.

• Register for classes here. This one seems a little obvious, but there’s always a massively long line in front of the registrar’s office the first week of classes.
• Look up what books you’re going to need and see where you can buy them. The bookstore on campus is always a good place to go, or if you would rather buy them online then Amazon and Chegg are both a good place to look. 
•       Fill out your FAFSA. Remember, you have to fill a new FAFSA every school year.
    ·     Renew your school parking permit. With the school restriping the parking lots on campus, parking will be easier than ever.
     ·   Go ahead and skim through your text books for next semester. Don’t try and understand the material. Just try and get a basic understanding of what concepts the class will be covering. I find this to be very helpful when I’m taking classes that I have no previous background in, like Engineering Fundamentals of Thermodynamics.
