3 Ways to Help Your Student Prepare for Finals

Check in, engage and motivate
December 2, 2020

This semester has been challenging. As it comes to an end, your student’s final exams are just around the corner.

If they need a little extra support from you, here are three ways you can help them prepare:

  • CHECK the exam website and schedule.
  • ENGAGE. Encourage your student to reach out to their professors with questions.
  • MOTIVATE your student with some incentive. Send them a note, a care package, or if they are home, treat them to a coffee, cookies or their favorite meal.

Plus, a variety of tutoring resources are available to support your student in their studies.

With our change to online courses after fall break, no in-person finals will be offered. Some faculty members may offer alternatives to a final exam – for example, a project or presentation.

Registrar Josh Lind suggests, “Students should stay in close contact with their instructors about details for final exams.”

Thank you for supporting your student!
