Assistance for At-risk Freshmen and Sophomores

Hampden-Sydney College (VA)

Hampden-Sydney College seeks to improve the grades of academically at-risk freshmen and sophomores, decrease the number of students who are found to be academically deficient at mid-semester, and boost their retention in college.

Services include tutoring, special workshops for students who are on academic probation or doing unsatisfactory work in two or more courses, and counseling through the college's Office of Academic Success. The financial aid program at Hampden-Sydney provides resources to assist students from low-income families.
