REMINDER! The last day to withdraw from you classes in which you are failing is Sunday, March 22, 2015.
If you missed a previous email and Daily Bruin announcement, here is a reminder of the steps that need to be taken.
Midterm grades are important indicators of how you are doing in your classes. While they are not a part of your permanent record they are important to pay attention to.
In some cases, midterm grades represent about half your grade in the course. If you have questions, you should check with your professors. It is vital to know where you stand in each of your classes.
Midterm grades are meant to encourage you to get in touch with others: your professor, your advisor, your CAP Coach (Career & Academic Planning Coach), the Academic Resource Center.
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 March 8. You should plan to check your midterm grades ASAP.
To check your mid-term grades in MyGFU:

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). Remember: The last date to withdraw is Sunday, March 22.
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.
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.
Plan well for spring semester. Contact your CAP Coach (Career & Academic Planning Coach) to get advice about spring semester. Find out more about CAP Coaches here.

Going home for spring break? Clean out old things and make a difference in your community by donating gently used jeans to the Jeans Drive.
This student-led drive is collecting jeans for Aspire, a clothing closet designed to provide clothing, shoes and toiletries for Newberg High School students in need. The closet especially lacks jeans and leggings!
Place gently used jeans and leggings inside the black “Jeans Drive” bins in the Bruin Den and residence halls to help local high school students.
Questions? Check out Aspire’s Facebook page, or contact Sierra Donahue at sdonahue11@georgefox.edu.

Graduating seniors! As graduation approaches, you may find yourself reflecting on the opportunities you’ve had and memories you’ve made as a student at George Fox.
Now consider what it might be like if all you’ve experienced at Fox were cut short due to a fine or hold. Some of you may have experienced the burden of this and know the frustration it entails. We don’t think fines and holds should stand in the way of all you have worked for!
Please make sure to stop by the advancement table at Exodus to find out how you can help others clear financial holds and make a George Fox education possible for other Bruins! Be Known for the difference you make!
