That’s Where College Success Systems Comes In

This is a full-semester strategy for students who want to stop spinning their wheels and start getting results.

Created by a college professor with 20+ years in the classroom, this course walks your student through everything they didn’t get taught in high school—step by step.

Inside, they’ll learn how to:

✅ Plan their entire semester in advance (no more last-minute freak-outs)
✅ Build weekly routines they can actually stick to
✅ Study using science-backed techniques (goodbye, passive review!)
✅ Stay caught up on readings, notes, assignments, and test prep
✅ Ask professors for help—the smart way
✅ Use momentum to build better grades and stronger habits every term

🎯 The Solution: Systems that Work, Week after Week,  Semester after Semester

The good news? These aren’t skills you're either born with or not. These systems can be learned. But it takes structure, practice, and support.

That’s exactly what the College Success Systems delivers.

In just a few short weeks, your student will:

🔹 Master essential college success skills like semester planning, weekly routines, and active study strategies that work in every class

🔹 Build confidence through small, consistent wins—from staying caught up on assignments to prepping for exams without the panic

🔹 Learn how to take control of their time and workload instead of letting it control them

🔹 Get expert guidance from a college professor and coach with over 20 years of experience helping students turn things around

🔹 Create habits and systems they can use every semester—not just survive this one

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually works—and building a system that lasts.

MODULE ZERO

🧭 Orientation – GPS: Goals, Priorities & Systems

Before your student dives in, they need to understand what this system is, how to use it, and how it will support them all semester long.

This module sets the tone: You’re not just trying harder—you’re using a system that works.

In this module, your student will:

✅ Get a clear overview of the full College Success System and how each piece fits together

MODULE ONE

🧭 Mindset Matters:  Win the War in Your Mind

Before students can succeed in college, they need direction.
This module helps your student set a clear course—with the mindset, motivation, and systems to follow through.

If they don’t know why they’re here or how to prioritize, they’ll keep reacting to the chaos instead of building consistency.

In this module, your student will learn:

✅ How to shift from a high school mindset to the habits of a successful college student
✅ Why clarity on your “why” is the foundation for motivation and follow-through
✅ How to set goals that actually guide daily decisions—not just look good on paper

✅ How to use the GPS system to stay on track, even when things get busy or hard

By the end of this module, your student will have a clear sense of direction, a system to stay aligned with their goals, and a shared language you can both use to support their growth.

MODULE TWO

📅Planapalooza: Design a Semester You Can Actually Do

Most students are already behind by Week 2—because they never made a real plan.

This module teaches students how to map out their semester before things pile up, so they can stay ahead, reduce stress, and make smart decisions about their time and energy.

In this module, your student will learn how to:

✅ Read a syllabus like a pro and extract what really matters
✅ Map out key due dates, exams, and deadlines across all their classes
✅ Use backward planning to break big assignments into manageable steps

✅ Identify high-demand weeks in advance to avoid overload and burnout

By the end of this module, your student will have a complete overview of their semester, a game plan for big projects, and a system to stay one step ahead—instead of constantly playing catch-up.

MODULE THREE

Win the Week – Build a Routine You Can Actually Stick To

Even the best semester plan falls apart without a weekly rhythm.

This module helps your student turn their semester calendar into a real-life routine—one that accounts for classes, study time, downtime, and everything in between.

In this module, your student will learn how to:

✅ Turn their semester overview into a weekly action plan
✅ Build a realistic routine that reflects how college actually works
✅ Use the Friday 15 system to reset and plan for each week ahead
✅ Make time visible—so it stops slipping through the cracks
✅ Stay flexible and adjust without melting down when things don’t go as planned

By the end of this module, your student will have a clear, repeatable structure for their week—and the confidence to adjust as they go, without falling off track.

MODULE FOUR

📝  Do the Work: Class, Notes, Professors & Follow-Through

College success isn’t about cramming—it’s about showing up and staying consistent.

This module helps students build the daily academic habits that actually move the needle: going to class, taking useful notes, completing assignments on time, and following through with professors when they need help.

In this module, your student will learn how to:

✅ Build a daily checklist that makes “what do I need to do today?” simple and repeatable
✅ Take lecture and reading notes they’ll actually use when it’s time to study
✅ Use a 10-minute post-class review habit to boost retention
✅ Start and finish assignments early—with a system, not willpower

By the end of this module, your student will have a strong daily academic system—and the confidence to follow through, ask for help, and stay caught up without constant stress.

MODULE FIVE

📚 Ace the Exam: Study Smart, Don't Cram

Most students wait too long, review passively, and panic before tests.
This module flips that script—so your student walks into exams prepared, not just hopeful.

They’ll learn to study using science-backed strategies that improve recall, reduce cramming, and help them feel confident on test day.

In this module, your student will learn how to:

✅ Replace passive review (like re-reading notes) with active, brain-based study methods
✅ Build a personalized Study Toolkit that actually works for different exam types
✅ Create a two-week Test Prep Calendar that prevents last-minute stress
✅ Use practice questions, flashcards, and study groups effectively
✅ Walk into exams knowing what to expect—and how to handle it

By the end of this module, your student will know exactly how to prepare for exams—with proven strategies, a realistic plan, and a lot less stress.

MODULE SIX

🧩 The Semester Blueprint: Putting It All Together

Now that your student has all the tools, it’s time to connect the dots.

This final module helps them reflect, refine, and create a custom blueprint they can use again and again—so each semester builds on the one before it.

In this module, your student will learn how to:

✅ See how each part of the system works together to drive results
✅ Create a personalized Semester Blueprint they can reuse and adapt
✅ Track both short-term wins and long-term academic growth
✅ Build in weekly and monthly review habits that keep them accountable

🙌 Are We a Good Fit?

Wondering if College Success Systems can help your student—and your family?

This course isn’t for everyone. It’s designed for students (and parents) who are ready to make real changes using a clear, proven system.

✅ YOU ARE A GREAT FIT FOR CSS IF:

• Your student is starting or returning to college and wants a stronger, more structured approach this semester.
• You know they’re capable—but they need tools, strategies, and accountability to stay on track.
• You want to support their success without hovering—and need a shared language to do that well.
• Your student is open to trying something different to feel more confident, organized, and in control.
• You both want a step-by-step plan that builds real skills—without adding more stress to your plate.

If that sounds like you, you’re in exactly the right place.
Let’s build the system that gets your student back on track—and keeps them there.

❌ COLLEGE SUCCESS SYSTEMS MIGHT NOT BE A GREAT FIT IF:

We want every family who joins College Success Systems to succeed—and that means being honest about who this course is not for.

CSS might not be the best fit if:

• Your student isn’t open to learning new systems, trying new routines, or accepting support (even when it’s offered).
• You’re looking for 1:1 coaching or live sessions—CSS is a fully digital, self-paced program.
• You want instant results without putting in the the time it takes to implement the tools.
• You’re looking for subject-specific tutoring—this course focuses on time management, planning, studying, and follow-through (not content help).
• You’re not ready to support your student from the sidelines—CSS includes parent guides to help you encourage independence, not take over.

This course works best when students are willing to try, and parents are ready to cheer them on without doing it for them.
