knowing your strengths, and
understanding how external factors can impact

Let’s consider what brought you to the college in the first place:
Why did you choose to go to college?
Was TRCC your first choice?
What are your academic goals?
What are your career goals?
What do you want to achieve?

goals?

and attitudes towards being at the college. These can impact your
success. Please note your responses in the appropriate section of

The strengths and skills that you already have
are the foundation for your success. Take a
moment to consider the following:
What are you really good at?
What positive things do others say about you?
Think of a past achievement, can you identify what
key steps you took to be successful?

Please note your responses
in the appropriate area on
the worksheet.
 
In your meeting with an advisor we will discuss
how to apply these strengths to your academic
journey.

Despite one’s best intentions many events and issues can
derail a student from achieving their academic goals.
Understanding what factors have led to your current
situation is key to getting back on track and in control of
your educational journey.
Using your worksheet as a guide you can pinpoint some of
the specific factors that have led to your situation.
The worksheet breaks down common obstacles
into categories. Take a moment and complete
the checklist.

After completing the checklist, identify what
patterns you see.
You may find that your roadblocks fall across
multiple categories or that they are contained
within one area.
When you meet with your advisor, you will
discuss and select key strategies related to
overcoming these barriers. These will become
part of your action plan.

Reflecting on the roadblocks that you
have identified:
What items do you have control over?
What items are beyond your control?
What causes you to feel overwhelmed or
discouraged?
 
Please note your responses in the appropriate area
on your worksheet.

the worksheet.

Now that you have reflected on key factors for
ensuring academic success, take a moment to
calculate the “hard” numbers that you will need to
achieve to get to good standing.

need to achieve is an online GPA calculator. You
