Not meeting academic goals, or having unexpected setbacks, can be challenging for anyone.

Many students are surprised by the rigors of college, the need for self-regulated learning or simply losing focus or motivation. Hitting this bump in the road doesn’t mean you won’t be successful! However, most students need some additional assistance to get back on a successful track.

This brochure highlights the important resources available at Otterbein provided by three key offices on campus. Each offers services and support that students who might be struggling academically can take advantage of anytime during the semester.
