Student Support

There are many resources available to students who are having academic difficulty at Rice. When a student is having difficulty in an individual class, they should contact the class teacher. If the student is experiencing broader academic concerns in more than one course, it is recommended that the student’s guidance counselor be contacted. They can help review the options available for academic support and help to develop a plan to increase success in those courses and in school in general.  The following options are available to students at Rice to help with academic success.

The first and most important resource is the teacher.  The teacher will best be able to help students because they are familiar with both the material and the student’s abilities.  Teachers often stay after school Monday through Thursday to help students. This is the best time for students to meet with their teachers one-on-one. Regular communication can be coordinated between teachers and parents as needed and is generally initiated by parents through email.  Individual guidance counselors can help facilitate this arrangement.
