Purpose The purpose of the Terry Scholars Academic Program is to provide a forum for students to create their own academic successes. In order to remain in the Terry program, students must maintain a 2.5 GPA. Developing tools to become successful in college is essential to continued academic success.
Expectation The Terry Foundation expects scholars to perform at the highest level possible. Participation in an academic enrichment program can only help facilitate that endeavor. All new first year Terry Scholars are strongly encouraged to participate. Scholars on probation are also strongly encouraged to participate.
During the fall, freshman Terry Scholars will be expected to attend and/or complete the following tasks. The tasks are designed to help provide students with the tools necessary to create positive time management, study, and personal habits that will serve them well as they begin their collegiate careers.
Welcome to the Second Semester of College. In this portion of the program, we will seek to discover new tools to help with learning, retention, and application. These sessions are designed to help students hone their skills and prepare to utilize skills in the work place through research, internships and more.
Now is the time to revisit the lessons you learned in the first few sessions. Set up and plan ahead for your semester. Meet your faculty members. Sit up front. Create great habits. Get in good study groups. These lessons should be repeated each semester.
