Seek help as early as possible if academic problems occur. Many of the students who get into academic difficulties avoid taking them on until it's too late. It's not smart to wait until the end of the term, when things are desperate, to look for help. Get tutoring when having trouble in a single course. The tutoring program is free to Carthage students.
Tutors are peers who are trained and referred by academic departments.
Tutors offer individual or group assistance five nights per week in The Writing Center, located in the lower level of South Hall. Remember that the amount and the type of work expected at Carthage are different from high school. What worked in high school as an approach to studying may not work at Carthage. An advisor can help to identify where strengths lie but also where adjustments should be made. Students have more control over their academic success than they may think.
