Protect Your GPA

Getting to Kent

As a student, it鈥檚 important to make good decisions because they can impact your GPA. Many things you do, and often the things you don鈥檛 do (like not going to class or taking advantage of tutoring), can make a difference. Remember - you are in control of your academics and how you spend your time!

  • MANAGING ALL OF YOUR TIME
    • Be sure to manage your academic time, personal time and keep your health in mind.
    • Get a planner and make check lists to get things done. This can be traditional paper or a Google Calendar. 
    • Use your phone to your advantage. Set daily alarms to remind yourself to study, eat, sleep and exercise. Hey, while you are at it, you should probably make one to brush your teeth. Your roommate will thank you.

    Distractions

    So, you finally have a bit of a routine and you're relieved that midterms will soon be behind you. Your performance, even before grades are returned, may have boosted or deflated your confidence, depending on how you feel the exams went. As you wait to get grades back, you may realize that friendships or relationships at home are on shaky ground because of the time you recently invested in studying or new friendships and hobbies.
