Mid Semester
Mid-semester is the time to make sure you know how the grading systems work in your courses, know how you are doing in your courses, and making any adjustments needed as mid-term projects and tests approach.
- Review the syllabus for each course to see how your grade is calculated.
- Many courses post grades in D2L. The Understanding Grades video shows how to understand basic D2L grade features. Review your grades and any feedback you have received.
- If you would like to improve your course performance, the Academic Success Center offers free in-person and virtual tutoring appointments. Tutoring for specific courses, general study skills, D2L, and computer software is available.
- If you think you might qualify for accommodations but haven’t met with the Accessibility Resource Center yet, you can still do so.
- If you are considering withdrawing from a course, communicate with your instructor and your advisor to make sure you have the best information. Many students who withdraw could have passed the class. Note that withdrawing from a course does not remove tuition and fees from your bill.
