Don’t panic, a failing grade is recoverable!

If you’re worried about a bad grade or failed assignment, exam, or course - listen up!

There is hope! You still have time, people, and support on campus to help you succeed.

Most students in this situation don’t know they have options and resources at their disposal. We’re here to tell you there are.

Remember, as soon as you start feeling overwhelmed, seek help and seek help early! It’s not easy to do, but the sooner you face that failing grade, bad assignment mark, low GPA, whatever it is - the better.

The earlier you act, the more options you have available to you.

Don’t give up! You’ve got this.

Last chance to attend an info session: Thursday, March 15!
