Study Strategies | For Students Experiencing Academic Difficulty

Cal places great demands on students not only academically, but also in a variety of other ways. We, along with our partners in the College of L&S, SLAS, DSP, and CPS, can help you to identify the reasons for your difficulties and overcome them. Students who are on Academic Probation or who simply are not achieving up to their expectations can use the following resources to achieve success.
