[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the trolls. You asked sincere for suggestions and some people can't even be civil.

Have him look into all student support services, join study groups, or take any class or program that might be called something like "student success." Most universities have a very vested interest ($$$) in keeping freshman, so they have programs in place to help them. You do need to seek them out and your kid will have to be motivated to go.

The good thing about college is most assignment dates are set and do not change, unlike high school when teachers do things on the fly. My son goes through every syllabus after the first day of class and puts in every single assignment, test, quiz, etc. into his phone with an alarm set to go off the day before it's due or happening. This takes an entire day, but the he gets reminders all semester long. He learned this system the hard way, but it really works for him.

As far as your role, I'd suggest twice a week casual calls where you ask him how school is going, if he has any big exams or projects, etc. You aren't trying to track things for him, just pulling them up in mind so he remembers them.

Your son can do this. I have faith. [/quote]
