More than half (56%) of all full-time students devote approximately 15 hours or less preparing for class; about 10% spend 5 or less hours preparing for class. On average faculty members expect a typical student to spend approximately 16.5 hours per week preparing for class. Research indicates studying more hours per week has a positive effect on first-year students GPA. Students who study 21 hours or more per week on average have an increased GPA by .12 compared to students who study 6 to 20 hours per week realized about a .04 point advantage during their first-year . What matters to grades is not only the amount of the time spent studying, but also how efficiently that time is used. (Kuh, Cruce, Shoup, Kinzie, & Gonyea, 2008) Studying and Balance Students who spend more time participating in co-curricular activities, working off-campus, & relaxing or socializing typically have lower first-year grades. For example, compared to students involved in co-curricular activities 5 or less hours per week, those who participated between 6 and 20 hours per week had a .06 point disadvantage in their first-year GPA; students who spent 21 or more hours per week earned a .11 lower GPA. Being involved in co-curricular activities has a strong positive impact on the students’ probability of returning for their 2nd year: Students involved in co-curricular activities 5 or less hours per week have a .88 probability of returning Students who are involved 6 to 20 hours a week have a .94 probability of returning Students who devote 21 or more hours per week have a .95 probability of returning (Kuh, Cruce, Shoup, Kinzie, & Gonyea, 2008) UNIVERSITY POLICE Main Station: 562/985-4101 or 911 24 hours service/7 days a week http://daf.csulb.edu/offices/ppfm/police/ Substation: Located in the University Student Union on the 2nd Floor, USU-237 562/985-8538 Monday- Friday 9am-10pm STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES (SHS) 562/985-4771 STUDENT HEALTH CENTER www.csulb.edu/shs SHS Clinic We are a nationally accredited ambulatory health care facility.
