Midterm Grades

Midterm grades were posted on WebAdvisor on October 24. These grades are viewable by your student. You should speak with your student about whether or not he or she is willing to share them with you. Midterm grades are a way for your student to have a general understanding of where they are in each class. The grades can still change in most classes. The grades should encourage your student to continue what they are doing, or adjust their study habits. There are many resources on campus to help your student. For example, if he or she struggles with writing, encourage him or her to go to the Writing Center.  Also, tutoring services are offered in almost all disciplines.  Both services are offered in multiple locations for convenience.  The first semester of college can be an adjustment for many students; your student’s midterm grades might not be what they are used to from high school. This is a normal feeling, and will eventually pass as they become used to college-level academics.
