Interventions for Students with Academic Difficulties
Is a student struggling in your class?
- Offer to meet with the student to discuss strategies.
- If the student does not meet with you, recommend they meet with their academic advisor.
- Suggest to the student that they access campus academic support including the Writing Center, Math Lab, Science Supplemental Instruction, Modern Language tutoring, and Core 150/250 tutoring. See information in Tutoring and Academic Support.
Is your advisee struggling in classes? Refer to information above as well as the following:
- Encourage the student to contact the course instructor for assistance and work with course TA if available.
- Recommend the student attend study sessions if offered, or meet with peers to study.
