Senioritis is the colloquial name for the decreased motivation toward education felt by students who are nearing the end of their high school, college, graduate school careers, or the end of a school year in general. Senioritis can be described for any grade, although it is mostly said to occur in senior-level students. Senioritis is not a recognized medical condition, but a colloquial term in the United States and Canada that combines the word senior with the medical suffix -itis to denote a medical condition.
