Fall 2020 End of Semester Guide

Hard to believe, but here we are! As we wrap up the semester, here are some of the many resources available to help you finish strong. 

Academic & Pre-Professional Resources

We at GW/UHP want you to succeed at your highest levels. Check out these tools to help you get there. 

Academic pro tip: when in doubt, refer to the syllabus. That is your treasure map for success in any course. If you have questions about the syllabus, contact your professor or TA. 

Advising 

You’re not on a desert island. Let us help.  

Advising pro tip: our advising calendars are more open during the end of the semester. If you didn’t get a chance to talk with us during registration week, stop on by! We are also continuing our 15-minute appointment option going forward, in case you have a quicker question. 

Health & Wellness 

Remember to put your oxygen mask on first. 

Health & wellness pro tip: when in doubt, reach out!   

Registration Support 

General “add/drop” registration is open until the start of the spring 2021 semester. Continue to monitor closed classes and waitlists. You can use RTF-EZs for classes without an active waitlist. 

Scheduling pro tip: it’s normal to make changes to your schedule between now and the start of the semester. Remember, it’s a process! Continue checking the Schedule of Classes and GWeb for course enrollment changes. Waitlists are open until Friday, January 15th. 

UHP Study Tips

  • Make a study plan – stick to it as much as you can, revise as you need to.  
  • Give yourself long, uninterrupted chunks of time to get into “flow.” 
  • Minimize distractions – turn off phones, computers, TVs, video games, messenger apps, Apple Watches, gigapets (whaddup, 90s babies). 
  • Communicate proactively to friends and family when you’ll be unreachable.  
  • If you need accountability from your peers, organize Zoom study sessions. 
  • Or if you’re “Zoomed out,” disconnect completely.

Study pro tip: environment is key! With recent coffee-shop/cafe/library closures, it can be challenging to study only at home or in only one place. Try to change up your work/study space as much as you can. 

As always, let us know how we can help!
