Tell them the truth, and do it sooner rather than later. Chances are they'll be happy for you. Its highly recommended that you leave on good terms because the next time you apply for a job or an education program, they will very likely ask for a recommendation from this current job.

I was in the class of 2013, got my biochem degree in 2015. Thanks to an undiagnosed condition, I really struggled in college. For the first half of the semester I'd do well, but then Id start slipping. Eventually I had to go on medical leave for a year. overall gpa was a 2.79 my Chem and bio gpas are about 2.6. Anyways, now I'm being treated and things are so much better for me. I'm employed full-time in a university lab, my ability to read is (aaaaalmost) back to what it was in HS before I got sick. I want to eventually get a PHD in something relating to genetics and signaling pathways (toxicology and plant genetics seem like really cool fields). with my grades I know that to have any chance of that happening I'll need to get a masters degree first. My gpa is too low to even apply to most masters programs, and I really don't know how to apply for a non-matriculating grad courses since even that has gpa requirements too. Oh yeah, I don't even have research experience. I'm currently studying for the GREs and that's going well, but I just don't know if the test fees and effort are worth it with my gpa.
