College Admissions & Application Advising

1. Asking for help is a sign of strength!
2. Speak to your professor face to face as soon as possible-after class, during his/her office hours, or make an appointment.
3. Speak to the class teaching assistant, face to face. He or she knows the class and the professor well. They will have insight that you could use to improve your class performance.
4. Visit and seek help from the tutoring center at your school or university.
5. Start a study group with fellow class mates. Leadership and collaboration skills will help lead you to success.
6. Hire a professional tutor. For a small hourly fee you can save yourself time and money by meeting with a tutor even just an hour a week.
7. Withdrawing from a class will cost you money and time! Seek advice from a trusted adviser before making a decision to withdraw.
8. If you are considering changing the grading option for a class to pass/no pass, keep in mind that many professional schools do not accept credit for a class without a letter grade. Again, seek advice from a trusted adviser before making a decision to change a grade option.
9. Even the best students cannot be "the best" at every subject - The "best" students recognize quickly when they need help and don't hesitate to seek it out!
