Everything to gain
College Success Skills, (CSSK), is your roadmap for navigating our campuses, your classes and your career choices.
You'll learn about all our resources, including the Libraries, Learning Centers and Counseling and Academic Advising Services.
You'll also learn how to take better notes, study smarter and pass your tests.
And the best part is, you'll take an inventory of your talents and interests to help you identify the career that's right for you!
When it’s required
If you place in all three of the college's Math, Reading and English developmental courses: MATH-0050 or MATH-0070, READ-0960 and ENGL-0050, you'll be required to take CSSK-1200 your first semester.
You'll have to complete the course with a grade of C or better within two attempts to continue taking other courses at Macomb, but we know you can do it!
And after passing it, don't be surprised if your grade point average begins to rise.
