“It was better to have hands-on labs because I’ll be doing more of that when I transfer to USF. I wouldn’t feel as prepared with just the virtual labs, and now I’m more confident I won’t have any issues with my credits transferring because it was a hands-on lab experience!”

How to get started and stay on track

Image
  • Order lab kits early

    Avoid delays by placing orders as soon as possible. Your instructor will tell you how you can purchase your course's lab kit before your class start date, such as picking it up at your campus bookstore or ordering it through your LMS.

  • Check materials immediately upon arrival

    All lab kits include getting started instructions. Complete your lab inventory as soon as it arrives. Confirm all components are included and report any missing or broken items immediately.

  • Complete the safety modules

    Always follow safety protocols in every lab. Wear proper protective gear, handle materials carefully, and review all safety instructions before you start and throughout to ensure a safe and productive learning experience.

  • Plan ahead for what's required in each lab

    Take the time to read through lab instructions ahead of time. This helps you identify any incubation periods, weather-dependent experiments, or additional self-supplied items needed. Planning ahead ensures you’re fully prepared and can manage your time effectively.

  • Take advantage of pre-lab assignments

    Your instructor may assign pre-lab assignments. These activities let you conduct trial experiments in a low-stakes environment so you have greater understanding before physical, hands-on labs.

  • Don't wait to ask for help when needed

    Support is available for both students and educators to resolve technical or material concerns. Reach out to our dedicated support team or lean on our AI-powered support that’s available 24/7.
