Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of a student’s academic progress so far this semester. If a student is struggling in a class, the last day they can withdraw from that class without a graded responsibility is Sunday, March 20.

This means that if a student withdraws from a class, their transcript will show a “W.” If they do not withdraw now and ultimately do not pass a course, their GPA will suffer. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Other resources for students are easily accessible on campus:

• Services for Tutoring
• Academic Resource Center
