[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can afford. One idea to take the $9000 (the merit) out of her bank account as a way of getting “skin in the game” 
She is not a partier, like at all. She is introverted and has a bad case of ADD. She did not take advantage of any of the supports in the school, or what they had to offer. In terms of accommodations, even though she was entitled to some like extended test time. She said socially, She loves it. [/quote]

OP, it's great that your DD is happy. I would keep encouraging her to get more supports for her ADD and take advantage of the supports others have mentioned like office hours, TA tutoring, etc.

What is her major? If it's a STEM major, Cs in those initial classes are not uncommon. However, if, after the Spring semester, things don't improve, make sure you really explore with her why she is struggling and whether she using every support available to her. If she is not, then perhaps a gap semester is in order.

I just went through this with my son, who wound up withdrawing his sophomore year. He has ADD and severe anxiety, and after having the end of high school entirely virtual, he can't seem to ask for help when he needs it. He is taking time to work on these issues to figure out how to deal with people before returning to college makes sense for him.[/quote]
