Mid Semester Workshops

Mid-semester workshops are designed to provide support and resources to students who are experiencing academic difficulty.  Online mid-semester workshops are comprised of a self-assessment, selecting and viewing an online workshop, and completing the follow-up reflection.

You must successfully complete the four (4) required components listed below in order to have the mid-semester workshop hold removed:

  1. Complete the online GPA tutorial that will help you understand how the UC Merced Academic Standing Policy applies to you. Once you have completed the tutorial, you will receive a confirmation to your UC Merced email.

  3. Next, complete one online learning workshop. These workshops will focus on strategies that will help you improve your grade. You will be able to choose from 12 topics. Therefore, you will be able to find a workshop that will best fit your needs. Note: You must create an account to access the workshops.
