Have you checked your mid-term grade report? Depending upon what you find you need to consider taking some action.
To check your mid-term grades in MYGFU –

CLICK ON THE CORRECT TERM
CLICK ON THE MID-TERM GRADES TAB
Now you need to determine what to do next:
Consider whether to withdraw from one or more courses if it looks likely that you’ll get an F (or maybe even a D).
The last date to withdraw is Friday, November 6, at 5 p.m. You can usually go below 12 hours (at this point in the semester) without impacting your financial aid.
Withdrawal results in a W on your transcript but does not factor into GPA. If you were to get an F, it would impact GPA.
Confirm any thoughts of withdrawing from classes with your advisor.
Meet with each professor, especially those teaching courses you’re struggling in.
Meet with your advisor to discuss options.
Use labs, help sessions, & the ARC.
If you think you might have a learning disability, have some assessment done. Contact the Health and Counseling Center at 503-554-2340 or stop by their offices.
Plan well for Spring semester.
Consider whether you are in the right pathway in terms of a major or career. You might want to enroll in GEED 214: Claim Your Career Calling, a 1-hour online course (see http://www.georgefox.edu/offices/career_services/inactive_pages/careercourses.html) for more information) or meet with someone in the Career Services office.
Things to think about:
?How will my decisions impact my ability to graduate on my timeline? (Contact the Registrar’s office for the answer to this question.)
? What (if any) financial impact will my decisions have? (Contact the the Student Financial Services office for the answer to this question.)
? How can I build skills NOW to help me in the future? (Make an appointment with your advisor and the Academic Resource Center.
