Academic Difficulties


Students may experience academic stress and struggle with the demands of classes. They may benefit from some special help with reading, writing, time management, test anxiety or other study skills. The Division of Academic Enhancement's Academic Center aids students in developing and strengthening skills for academic success at UGA, as well as offering tutoring and other services.

Students who have been diagnosed with a psychological or other disability may qualify for accommodations or other services to assist them in achieving their academic goals. The Disability Resource Center provides a variety of academic and support services to UGA students.

Mental health difficulties may impact a student's ability to function academically or otherwise. Students are encouraged to discuss concerns affecting their academic performance with their instructor or professor. Confidential information regarding treatment at CAPS may be provided to persons or agencies outside of CAPS if the student signs a release. Information about course and university withdrawals may be obtained by visiting the Division of Student Affairs website (see Course & University Withdrawals)
