Midterm grades are important indicators of how students are doing in classes. While they are not a part of the student’s permanent record, they are important to pay attention to. In some cases, midterm grades represent about half the grade in the course. Students who have questions should check with their professors. It is vital to know where you stand in each of your classes.
Midterm grades are meant to encourage students to get in touch with others: your professors, your advisor, your Career & Academic Planning Coach, the Academic Resource Center, etc. The worst thing to do about midterm grades is to ignore them or to assume you can improve them on your own.
Professors do want to meet with you. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with each of them.
Midterm grades were due Sunday, March 6. Students should check midterm grades now if they haven’t already.
To check your midterm grades in MyGFU:
If you do not see a “Midterm Grades” tab, it is likely none of your professors have entered any midterm grades for you. Please contact your professors to find out what your grades are.
Students, now you need to determine what to do next:
 Contact your professors. Faculty are not required to enter midterm grades. You are advised to check with each of your professors about your status in their class. 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 Sunday, March 20.
You can usually go below being enrolled in 12 credit hours (at this point in the semester) without impacting your financial aid or housing. However, you should contact representatives in these departments to be certain:
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. Even if your professor doesn’t post midterm grades, find out from the professor what your grade is.
Meet with your advisor to discuss options and use labs, help sessions and 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 office on South River Street.
Not sure how to take the next step? Email studentlife@georgefox.edu.
Gain an international cultural experience right here on campus! Apply to be an international student orientation assistant or a program leader intern through the Office of International Student & Scholar Services. The deadline to apply is Sunday, March 27.
More information is available on Facebook (George Fox International Center/Culture House) or by contacting Tiona Cage at tcage@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2649.
Faculty, know of students who might be interested? Tell them about this opportunity.
Today (Wednesday) at 5 p.m. in Hoover 105, the honors society for psychology (Psi Chi) will host a discussion panel exploring the application of theoretical orientations in psychotherapy.
The panel will feature practicing clinicians reporting their experiences and applications of theoretical approaches in the counseling process. If you are curious about how these theories are applied, what clinical practice looks like, and different possible degree pathways for graduate studies, we highly recommend this panel. Refreshments will be provided along with a great discussion by experts.
For more information, email Josh Gieger at jgieger12@georgefox.edu.
Mail and Print Services will conduct business as usual during spring break. Courier delivery will also run as scheduled (Monday and Thursday).
If you have any questions, please contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2551.
Thank you,

Join us tonight (Tuesday) for the presentation. The lecture runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105.

The event is sponsored by the Richter Committee and the Faculty Development Committee.
Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2016 Spring Richter Student Scholars Symposium is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from George Fox graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be served in both the symposium and lecture.
