In Case of Academic Difficulty

• Contact the professor of the class in which you are struggling. Your professor may have ideas for improvement, or may know of campus resources that can be helpful. The sooner you contact your professor, the better!
• Work with the course TA, if available. Also attend study sessions if offered, or meet with other class members to work in study groups.
• Meet with your academic advisor. You can request an advisor by using the green form outside the registrar's office if you are wishing to change majors.
• Take advantage of campus academic supports, including the Writing Center, Math Lab, Science Supplemental Instruction, Modern Language tutoring, and Core 150/250 tutoring.
• Contact Andrew Pyrc in Educational Support Services, second floor of the HUB. This is particularly important if you have a documented learning disability. Information is available at www.whitworth.edu/educationalsupportservices.
• Student Success Coaches -- contact Landon Crecelius to inquire about being paired with a peer coach to support your academic success.
• Take the SIGI 3 interest inventory in Career Services to help determine majors that fit your interests.
• Take GE 148 (Planning: Major and Career) to explore your strengths and interests. Course typically runs in the spring.
• For further information about academic options, please contact Randy Michaelis in Academic Affairs or Dick Mandeville in Student Life.

The following are key numbers for campus resources. If you have academic, personal, financial, or health concerns, please contact your residence hall staff (for example, your RA), or a support office listed.

In Case of Financial Difficulty

Please make an appointment with your financial aid counselor, located in McEachran Hall. Counselors are assigned by the first letter of your last name:

If you have questions about satisfactory progress (for receiving financial aid), including how many credits you must take and what GPA you must maintain for aid, please contact your financial aid advisor.

Emergency 1-2-3

1. Call: Call 911 for any potential safety or medical emergency. (When in doubt, call 911.) Then call Whitworth Security (509.777.4444) and notify any staff member around you. If circumstances clearly don't warrant an emergency response, contact the Health and Counseling Center (509.777.4450) or another staff member or student leader about the best course of action.
2. Assess/Act: Use your judgment to ensure personal safety and the safety of those around you.
3. Monitor: Monitor university channels for information in case of a large-scale or general campus emergency. These channels include the university website, e-mail, text messages, the switchboard and local media.
