Many of these are the skills that students need to be successful at a rigorous college like Grinnell. If you're having trouble with any of these, you can ask to meet with a counselor, and the staff will meet with you as frequently as once (or even twice) per week, if desired, until the difficulties are resolved.
We also coordinate tutoring in the humanities and social studies. Tutoring is free to students and many students use it to boost their grades from B's to A's!
We also support students with disabilities who need acadmeic accommodations. Let us make sure you're getting appropriate support.
