The staff in these offices have extensive experience working with students and will discuss your situation with you and offer suggestions that might help you get back on track.  Academic success is dependent on many factors and an honest conversation with an adviser may help you analyze areas in which you may be experiencing trouble. 

 

The Foundation understands that students may encounter academic difficulties, but we expect you to seek assistance.  If you have a bad semester, don’t be embarrassed about it – seek appropriate help and let us know what you are doing to improve your performance. 

 

You may also want to contact your faculty adviser on campus and/or your college’s advising office for advice about improving your grades.  Tutoring and study groups may be helpful.  Also, remember that time management is a key component of academic success.  Whatever you do, don’t ignore the problem.
