Identifying Academic Difficulty

Overcome probation by not repeating the same behavior each term and expecting different outcomes.  By changing your behaviors and attitudes, you can positively affect your overall grade point average (GPA).  Low grades, below 2.0, are usually how students are placed on probation.  Reasons for low grades are a result of different things for different students.  Everyone makes mistakes which become powerful lessons for self-knowledge.  Being on probation does not make you a “bad person or student”.  Rather than feel sad, get pumped!  Through this exercise you will be able to:

1.  Self-reflect and gain personal ____________

2.  I.D. reasons for academic difficulty

3.  Once you have I.D.’d factors or reasons,

     make specific changes

4.  List any resources you will need
