Your Strengths & Weaknesses

Basic Academic Behaviors - You have excellent academic behaviors! These skills typically lead to good grades; keep
up the good work! It is important to sustain your current level of performance throughout the entire term. Tip: Talking with
your instructors is a proven way to get the most from your classes! At any point you need help, contact your campus
connections faulty/staff members (see the list at the end of this report).
Class Attendance - Congratulations! You understand the importance of class attendance. Many students don't realize
that attending every class is crucial to academic success in college. Did you know that students who miss a class every once
in a while earn an average GPA nearly a letter grade lower than students with perfect or near perfect class attendance?
Furthermore, it is important to be active in class. Being mentally present in the class is just as important as being physically
present.
Time Management - Your time management skills are in serious need of improvement. Balancing demands on your
time can be difficult. Did you know that good time management skills are linked to higher GPAs? Improving your skills will
allow you to be more efficient with your time and more effective in achieving good grades.
Academic Self-Confidence - You have moderate confidence in your academic abilities. Students with moderate
confidence tend to do well until they face a challenge. They might give up on a task early when they feel stressed. If this
happens, contact one of us immediately for help.
Course Difficulties - You're struggling in at least two courses. Struggling in multiple courses dramatically increases your
risk of earning a poor GPA. First, talk to those course instructors today. Don't wait. Second, contact one of us; we can help.
To achieve the grades you expect you must take action now!

Tips on Improving
Create a Study Group - Assemble a group of other
students in your classes who can study together, provide
feedback on work, share notes, and motivate each other to
do well in the class.
Talk to Your Instructors - If you're struggling in a class,
contact the instructor immediately and discuss steps you
can take to improve your performance. Make an
appointment with your academic advisor to discuss available
resources, such as tutoring and study skill seminars.
Take Personal Responsibility - Make a commitment to
practice good academic behaviors such as attending all
classes and completing assignments on time. Get a planner
or an app that allows you to record assignments and due
dates to help manage your time and class demands.
Take Advantage of Campus Resources - There are many
resources on campus that can help you overcome academic
hurdles. Please see the list of campus resources at the end
of this report.

Connecting with Others

Campus
Involvement

MAPWORKS:
TRANSITION ONE

Sense of
Belonging

MAPWORKS:
TRANSITION ONE

Your Strengths & Weaknesses

Campus Involvement - You want to be involved on our campus? That's great news! We love your enthusiasm. Getting
involved is a great way to make the most of your college experience. The foundation for success extends beyond the
classroom; the opportunities and experiences provided by campus activities are as important as your classroom experience
when it comes to your future success.
Sense of Belonging - It's great news that you feel connected on campus! Remember that there are always new
opportunities to make friends and build new relationships through student organizations, intramural sports, and community
service projects!

Tips on Improving
Connect - Making connections with students, faculty, and
staff often takes time and effort. Reach out to others who
may be struggling to make a connection and be open to
building friendships with those who reach out to you.
Create a Club - If our institution doesn't have a club or
organization that matches your interest, consider developing
one. Contact our student activities/student life office about
how you may be able to do this.
Join In - Consider joining a social/professional
organization, activity, or intramural sport. Or, volunteer your
time to a cause that is important to you.

Paying for College

Financial
Confidence

MAPWORKS:
TRANSITION ONE

Your Strengths & Weaknesses

Financial Confidence - To stay in college you have to pay for college, and if you're a little unsure of how you'll pay for
next term's tuition and fees, you're not alone! Don't wait; contact the financial aid office for help right away. There are people
here who can help you find ways to meet your financial needs. A list of campus resources is provided in this report to help
you along.

Tips on Improving
Schedule an Appointment - Make an appointment with
the financial aid office to discuss available assistance.
Reach Out - Reach out to one of your campus
connections (see the list of campus connections at the end
of your report). They will help direct you to the appropriate
person or office that can provide your with information.
Explore Options - If the stress of financial issues begins
to affect your academic focus and performance, please
speak to your campus connections (see the list of campus
connections at the end of your report), a counselor, or an
advisor before you become overwhelmed.
