Open your grades before your gifts
You're probably already thinking
ahead to your holiday plans,
but don't forget that you're still a
student throughout the winter
break. Part of your responsibilities
as a student includes checking
your grades and knowing your academic
standing.
If you're in a 15-week program, your grades will be available on WebAdvisor on December 18 at 6 p.m. The college will be open until noon on December 24, and staff will be available to help you decide what to do should you be in jeopardy of failing your program.
“Take advantage of the time between when grades are posted and when the college closes — use that time wisely,” said Robert Kitchen, senior manager of Fanshawe's Student Academic Success Services. He advised making a notification on your cellphone to remind you to check your grades on December 18.
“There's a limited time when we come back — on January 2 — so there's Thursday and Friday, and classes start on Monday [January 6]. There's very little time, so students who don't want to get caught in lines [should deal with these issues early].”
If you see that your grades aren't where they need to be and you need help, get in touch with the Student Success Advisor for your school (a full list of SSAs' names and contact information is available at tinyurl.com/fanshaweSSA) or your program co-ordinator for help with your next steps.
If your academic standing is in jeopardy, you have a few options. First, think about whether your program is a good fit for you. “Part of it is realizing why their grades are not where they want them to be,” Kitchen said. “Is it because they're doing what they need to do and are still struggling? Is it that they're not going to class, they're not handing assignments in on time?” Help for those kinds of issues can be found with your Student Success Advisor or in The Learning Centre. “We have a wealth of support for students.”
Maybe now's the time you're realizing that your program isn't such a good fit for you after all. Fanshawe is now offering an advising centre through the Office of the Registrar. You can talk to an advisor there should you decide to switch programs — contact them at advising@fanshawec.ca or call 519-452-4277 and press 4. You can also complete a career assessment in the Counselling and Accessibility Services office.
Take advantage of the services Fanshawe offers to help you succeed. Don't wait — be proactive, check your grades and get help if you need it.
More information regarding grades, academic standing and registration for the next term can be found on MyFanshawe under Office of the Registrar, Student Records, Transcripts and Grades.
