[quote=Anonymous]It is common but unfortunate when kids don't take advantage of college resources (such as TA meetings, faculty office hours, the writing center, study groups, review sessions, and accommodations if qualified). Perhaps you can get your daughter to meet with the staff at the Disability Services Center to discuss what is going on. They have undoubtedly seen it before.

I told my DD that those resources are part of what we are paying for, so if she wants to be a smart consumer she should took full advantage of them. Also, if you ever want to switch advisors or get letters of recommendations, you will make more of an impression on the professor if you have had one-on-one discussions with them.

I am glad that she did not fail out. This may have taught her that she needs to study more or attend all classes or sleep more or use the school's resources. I agree that since she does seem to care, you need to explore solutions with her kindly. I am not sure I would take money from her. Perhaps just say if this continues, you may ultimately do that or ask her to take out loans. But right now see if it was an adjustment issue and she can self-correct (with support and introspection).[/quote]
