Midterm grades are important indicators of how you are doing in your classes. While they are not<\/strong> a part of your permanent record, they are important to pay attention to.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Midterm grades are meant to encourage you to get in touch with others: your professor, your advisor, your enrollment counselor, the Academic Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The WORST thing to do about midterm grades is to ignore them or to assume you can improve them on your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professors DO want to meet with you. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with each of them.<\/p>\n

Midterm grades are due by Friday, Nov. 1, 2013. You should plan to check your midterm grades after this date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To check your mid-term grades in MYGFU:<\/strong>
\nCLICK ON SELF-SERVICE
\nCLICK ON ENROLLMENT
\nCLICK ON VIEW MY GRADES
\nCLICK ON THE CORRECT TERM
\nCLICK ON THE MID-TERM GRADES TAB<\/p>\n

Now you need to determine what to do next:<\/strong>
\nContact 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.<\/p>\n

Consider whether to withdraw from one or more courses if it looks likely that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get an F (or maybe even a D).<\/p>\n

The last date to withdraw is Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can usually go below 12 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:<\/p>\n

o Residence Life \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Dave Johnstone \u00e2\u20ac\u201c djohnstone@georgefox.edu
\no Student Financial Services – mailto: sfs@georgefox.edu<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Withdrawal results in a W on your transcript but does not factor into GPA.
\nIf you were to get an F, it would impact GPA.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Confirm any thoughts of withdrawing from classes with your advisor.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Meet with each professor, especially those teaching courses you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re struggling in. Even if your professor doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t post mid-term grades, find out from the professor what your grade is.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Meet with your advisor to discuss options.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Use labs<\/a>, help sessions<\/a> and the ARC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 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.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Plan well for spring semester. Contact your enrollment counselor to get advise about spring semester.<\/p>\n
