As we hit the halfway point in the semester, it is important to keep an eye on where you are in your classes. Typically by this time, students know whether they are struggling in a course or not.

If you do find that you are having some problems in a class, now is the time to reach out to your adviser.

They can provide you with useful resources, suggest study skills or program changes, and make recommendations about adding and dropping classes in order to set you up for success. As a transfer student, it can be difficult to ask for help. However, that is exactly what your adviser is here to do. Our goal is to ensure that all students have the tools that they need to succeed.

Set up a meeting with a general adviser in Wilson Hall (or your assigned faculty adviser) if you are struggling. It is better to meet the issue head-on now and prevent further issues from occurring down the road.
