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:

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.
