Some people think that students have a right to fail and then to ask for help once they've failed.
We've always believed that giving students a better start can prevent them from failing. If you need help and care enough to ask for it, there's lots available. Students can call or drop by the Academic Learning Center on the ground floor of Milledge Hall, where they can talk to academic-assistance personnel about the kind of problem they're having and arrange for a tutor or a workshop. All services are free. There are 564 regularly admitted students in this category this year, three-fourths of them taking courses in only one area.
