Academic Difficulty Overview

St. John Fisher College recognizes that you may struggle with your academic progress for reasons including family issues, personal health, conflicts with work, or academic goals that are incompatible with your interests and abilities. You may not be prepared for the transition from high school to college or from a two-year college to Fisher. The transition to more advanced coursework or changing from part-time to full-time status may also impact your academics.
