About College Success
College Success is designed to meet the course needs of a one-semester course, workshop, or seminar for first
year experience or college transition students. FYE programs vary greatly according to institution, so the
textbook has been developed to cover the most common concepts, and the open license and flexible formats
provide many opportunities for coordinators, instructional designers, and faculty to tailor the material for their
needs.

Preface

This book is an invitation—an invitation to students to step boldly into their college experience. College
Success addresses the evolving challenges and opportunities of today’s diverse students. The intensive
development work leveraged expertise from hundreds of FYE coordinators and faculty across the country. It
highlights resources available to students as they embark on new roads of independence and responsibility.
Students engage in careful self-analysis and research-based strategies to identify their strengths, challenges,
and aptitudes. While they explore study skills and learning methods, they are continually asked to apply the
concepts in reading, writing, and thinking exercises, which build both a solid base for classroom discussion
and a portfolio they can augment throughout their college career. Recognizing the ubiquity of technology and
social media, the authors address relevant information and advice where appropriate throughout the text. The
material is rooted in motivation, growth-mindset, and resilience; student readers will feel seen and involved as
they continually encounter one of the textbook’s core themes: “real-life” doesn’t stop when college starts.
Student engagement and self-analysis are reflected in each section through applications and activities.
Student reflection and opinions can be captured directly in the text, online, or in worksheets provided through
the ancillary package.
The diversity and intersectionality of students was considered in every example, context, and application,
and the text’s active surveys and detailed profiles make student voices a key element of the reading.
Interconnected topics are acknowledged and built upon, demonstrating that no element of college learning
and growth occurs in isolation. The result is a cumulative, more complete understanding, which better
prepares students to meet the multi-dimensional challenges of higher education.
Openly licensed and free in all digital formats, the text provides unparalleled flexibility in its use,
customization, and accessibility for faculty and students. The book is provided at no cost in online, pdf, epub,
Kindle, and other formats. It is also available in print for a very low price.
Robust instructor ancillaries will support faculty and course designers with teaching notes, additional
exercises, worksheet versions of the in-text activities, lecture slides, and assessment items.

Features
• Student Profiles: The voices of real students inform every chapter. These students grapple with the same
concepts, from improving study skills to embracing diversity, and through their experiences and successes
we share important stories.
• Get Connected: Apps, websites and tech opportunities that our experts recommend to help students
better face the challenges of college and life beyond the classroom.
• Analysis and Applications: Peppered through every chapter are opportunities for students to reflect on
concepts, try out processes, and apply what they’re learning.
• Career Connection: How can the material in each chapter help the student once they leave the
classroom? Features at the end of every chapter help students apply what they’ve learned to work life.
• Where Do You Go From Here?: Each chapter gives students the opportunity to dig in deeper and hone
their research skills by choosing one topic for a closer look.

Student Surveys and Results
Chapters begin and end with a survey, posing questions that will get readers engaged in considering their own
level of connection and understanding of the chapter’s concept, from time management to personal finance to
career planning. The close of each chapter revisits the survey, helping students gauge how their
understanding has evolved.
Student survey results are gathered anonymously and will be regularly provided to adopters as part of the
instructor resources. (See below for more information on instructor resources.) In the future, the surveys will
be assignable and the results viewable on an individual-course basis. For the survey results featured in the
textbook, hundreds of students from a diverse array of colleges and universities provided their feedback to

Estimated Module Completion Time
Each section of College Success includes an estimate of the average time needed to read through the material,
work on the activities and applications, and—where necessary—explore external websites or watch videos.
Each student will engage the material differently, and faculty will likely prioritize or assign certain components
over others. As a result, the actual time students spend will vary greatly. OpenStax will periodically update
these estimates based on user feedback. As with all other elements of the text, these estimates may be
