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

If you know of students who need help or have any questions, please have them contact studentlife@georgefox.edu.

The Cultural Ambassadors are hosting Portland tours aimed at connecting George Fox students with organizations/businesses that currently use their platforms to center BIPOC communities and their diverse stories.

Our next trip – to the Portland Art Museum on Saturday, March 5 – will seek to discuss questions such as: “How do we support BIPOC artists and their artistic practice?,” “What does it mean to be an activist as an artist?” and “Who are some local Portland artists that I should know about/how can I support them?”

We will meet that morning at the Intercultural Resource Center at 10 a.m. Join us as we discuss these questions, learn more about art as activism, and talk about the amazing legacy that artists of color are creating all around us.

Admission on the tours is free! Sign up here.
