Open your grades before your gifts
The holidays are on a lot of people's
minds right now, 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 21 at 6 p.m. The college will be open on December 22 and 23, and staff will be available to help you decide what to do should you be in jeopardy of failing your program. If you see that your grades are poor 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 coordinator for help with your next steps.
The college will be closed from December 24 to January 1, so Robert Kitchen, a Student Success Leader with the Student Success Centre, advised students to mark their calendars to check their grades and, if needed, do something about problems as soon as possible. "Block some time now to deal with this and then go enjoy the rest of your time off."
"We've done a lot for student success in recent years," said Lynne Gaudet, Associate Registrar, Registration and Records. "The college does really care about student success."
"We're certainly encouraging the students who have done poorly on their semester to check their grades and really effectively use the time between semesters," added Kitchen. "Some students decide that, because of their status, they don't want to return to their program. If they want to start in another program, start to do that stuff on December 22 and 23."
If you're a struggling student and you start to miss classes because you're not enrolled in the right classes … it becomes a recipe for disaster," he continued. "Don't let that be you. If you can deal with it before (it becomes a problem), it's certainly much better."
