Advising students on academic probation may bring new challenges to you as an academic advisor. Below are some tips to keep in mind.
Review the Academic Success Contract
One of the most important things an academic advisor can do is help probation students identify and resolve obstacles that are preventing them from being academically successful. The Contract is a guide to assist students in recognizing the steps they need to take to repair their GPA and establish Academic Good Standing.
Refer to Academic and Campus Resources
It is important to refer students to any and all academic and other campus resources that can help them improve their academic success. These include the Learning Center, Mathematics Tutoring Lab, Counseling Center, Disability Support Services, and the Career Services.
Repeating Courses
Repeating courses is the quickest way for students to raise their cumulative GPA. Consult the Course Repeat Policy, for specific information regarding this policy as well as the Federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for information on how this may effect Financial Aid.
