The five-week check-in is a chance for AMCS students to think about how their classes are going and if they need any help.
All current AMCS students receive a check-in survey through email after the first five weeks of classes. Middle College advisors review student responses to the survey, then provide outreach and follow up for students who indicate that they need help.
If you need access to the five-week check-in survey, contact your Middle College advisor.
Midterm Progress Reports
October 14-23

In order to meet with a Middle College advisor, AMCS students must submit a Midterm Progress Report every semester and complete their annual Title IX training. Middle College advisors add registration holds to all AMCS student's UAA accounts. Holds are added to ensure students submit their midterm progress reports, complete their Title IX training, and receive preapproval for their course selections for the next semester.
Middle College advisors provide outreach to students who have a D or an F in a UAA class to offer assistance and/or discuss options.
If you need access to the midterm progress report form, contact your Middle College advisor.
Withdrawals
November 4 deadline
- Learn More
If an AMCS student is in jeopardy of not passing a UAA class, and if they have exhausted all possible options to complete the class successfully, they have the option to withdraw from the class by the UAA deadline instead of receiving a failing grade.
AMCS students who choose to withdraw from a UAA course must complete the College Course Grade Change Form before they can withdraw from the UAA class in UAOnline. The withdrawal form helps to ensure that the AMCS high school staff and UAA Middle College staff are aware of this decision and provided feedback to the student if necessary.
Students who withdraw from a UAA class can only take as many classes as they pass successfully the following semester.
If you need access to the withdrawal form, contact your Middle College advisor.
