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 - You have fair time management skills, but to achieve good grades you will likely need to improve
them. It is important to organize your time and to keep academics high on your priority list. 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 high confidence in your academic abilities. Feeling confident will help you
persevere on projects even when there are challenges. Confident students are also more likely to connect with their
instructors and get the most out of each class. They also tend to earn higher grades.
Course Difficulties - You reported that you aren't having any difficulties with your courses. That's great news! If you do
need help, please don't hesitate to contact one of us immediately.

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

Involvement

Sense of
Belonging

MAPWORKS:
TRANSITION ONE

Your Strengths & Weaknesses

Campus Involvement - You're not very interested in getting involved on campus at this time. Please reconsider. We
have student organizations, intramural sports, and interesting clubs to offer you. Looking back on your college years, you
may not remember every class you took, but you will remember the clubs you were a part of and the events you shared with
your friends. Get involved and you'll be glad you did!
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.
