Your grades are your responsibility.  Here are some tried-and-true techniques to keep your GPA up.

• Study your schedule.  Which of your classes are going to swing your GPA the most?  Big credit classes deserve careful attention.
• Study the syllabus for each class.  Find out the policies on attendance, grade distribution, participation, etc.  Attend all of your classes.
• Go to your professors’ office hours.  These are posted on their office doors and in their syllabi.  Think of these as one-on-one coaching sessions.
• Find quiet places to study.  Visit the Academic Success office for a map of these locations.
• Form study groups. 
• Visit the Career Services Office, 230 Miller Student Center.
• Stay healthy.  Make your physical well-being an important priority.
