Everyone has different needs for learning. If you don’t have a documented disability but feel that you would benefit from learning support for other reasons, please don’t hesitate to talk to your professor. If you have substantial non-academic obligations or other concerns (e.g., food insecurity (See The Store), work, childcare, athletic commitments, language barriers, financial issues, technology access, commuting, etc.) that make learning difficult, please contact your professor. This information will be kept confidential, and together, your professor can brainstorm ways to meet your needs.
Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to contact GW's Office of Student Financial Assistance for support. Furthermore, please notify me if you are comfortable doing so. Some other resources to support you are found under the course menu item Student Resources and include support for academic achievement and personal well-being. (Adapted from Goldrick-Rab, 2017)
