You can choose to withdraw from a course you\u2019re struggling in, and then take it again when you\u2019re more prepared to handle it. Or, you can create a plan to put in the time required to improve your grade this semester \u2013 and work really hard.<\/p>\n<p>How do you decide which to do? There\u2019s no easy answer. If you\u2019re thinking of going to graduate school, your grade point average is very important to preserve. If you\u2019re not thinking of post-graduate study, you may be able to substitute another course for the one you\u2019re currently struggling in.<\/p>\n<p>The best choice is the one that will help you reach your goals . . . and talking with an advisor can help you reach that conclusion. If you\u2019re one of those students who hasn\u2019t made it in to 002 Rowell for an advising appointment yet, don\u2019t worry! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/~cnhs\/?Page=current.html&amp;SM=services_submenu.html\">We\u2019re still here<\/a> and we want to help you.<\/p>\n<p>Following the withdrawal deadline you have three weeks of classes; and then you have a week off. There\u2019s time to spend working on material that\u2019s been challenging you. But a word of warning: good intentions won\u2019t help you reach your goals. It\u2019s intention followed by action that makes a difference.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you make the decisions you need to make, and recommend actions that will help you achieve your desired outcome. But the courage to recognize habits that aren\u2019t working, and to change them, can only come from you.<\/p>\n<p>Be honest with yourself. Take stock.
