Caunseling_^_!^ with staff members rather than other students. After the first exams, professors may refer names of students who did not pass to ASAP, which then sends the students letters informing them they are not doing well in class and that help is available. If the students come for help, ASAP will refer them to appropriate services and follow up on students' progress. Sometimes students arc offended at being refer red to ASAP, however, such a move shows (he professor cares about the student, Heyward said. The letters from ASAP "motivate students to get serious about class." Heyward said more than 400 students were referred to ASAP through professors, parents and in one case, a sorority adviser. Other students come on their own for help with classes. Of that number, 80 students actually came in for an appointment. Criminal justice sophomore Antoinette Chambers said she found out about the program through Brokaw. "My grades started dropping in Chemistry 111," she said. "At ASAP 1 sat down to talk to Susan (Heyward), and she asked what kind of problems I had been having with the class." Chambers said Heyward gave her information about the tutoring program, sent her to USC's Career Placement office and asked that she see her nrnfV?c crvr A flor nr\inn */\ A C A 13 rU/? f?"! piUlUJUl.

"What we're trying to do is avoid failure," Brokaw said. "Often students having problems with one class have problems with others as well." Their goal is to reach these students within the first few weeks of classes, before the "withdrawal without an F" deadline, on Feb. 28. Of the students Heyward or Brokaw met through ASAP, more than one third passed the problem class with a C or better. An additional one fifth withdrew or received an incomplete or no report on thrir ornHf? rcnnrlc ------ O v ?vrv/. w. "What we found is a significant number of students were able to turn their academic performance around," Heyward said. "It is our hope that they arc able to manage their educational environment much better than before." None of the students who participated in ASAP withdrew from USC, however, a few students dropped out of school before Brokaw or Heyward could see them. Next year, Brokaw and Heyward hope to spend more time with upperclassmcn. Last semester slightly more than one fifth of ASAP's participants were sophomores or juniors, and only three students were seniors. But it's not easy to target problem upperclassmcn courses, Brokaw said. MIUHAtL TULLfTha Gamtcock environment is needed when studying has to be done.
