According to information I found I was led to believe I would not receive my diploma until about May 2008. I thought I would receive two separate diplomas for each degree, but they were combined on a single diploma. Probably due to the fact I applied for both degrees at the same time/school term.

This may not seem very important or significant to anyone but it is to me since it brings finality to the SFSU college experience.

Time management is one cure for sleep deprivation. This will only work if there is actual time that can be utilized more efficiently. With work, commute, and school there is very limited time left over for any unforeseen issues. Support from family and/or friends can be helpful when available.

I have no time for procrastination or just plain screwing around if I want to get required school work completed and still have time for other interests or hobbies.

Although, school comes first above everything else, especially for my last semester. In December 2007 I will graduate with BS degrees in Accounting and Decision Science.

So far, my experience at SFSU has been very good. Nothing unexpected. I do not spend a lot of time on campus or participate in school activities mainly do to work schedule and commute distance (100 miles round trip).

The SFSU College of Business has been very helpful. They provide any information needed online and also have a helpful staff in BUS 112.
