Early Alert System
The early alert system is designed to allow professors
to communicate with the academic advisors if there are
problems with a student in a classroom. Using a computer
software program, professors are able to report repeated
absences, tardiness to class, failure to complete assignments
and additional warning signs that signal that a student
needs extra help. The professors complete a form on the
campus website which is automatically sent to the academic
advisors in charge of contacting the students regarding
the alerts. The advisors can use a variety of communication
methods to reach out to the student, from individual
interviews to phone conversations to professor-student-counselor
meetings. All methods of communication are enacted with
expeditious intent. It is the goal of the counselors
to contact the students as quickly as possible and get
the matter resolved so that advancement in the classroom
can be achieved. Additionally, students may be
referred to the Learning Center, The Writing Center or
the Math Lab for tutoring, as well as the Counseling
Center if additional personal counseling is needed.
Academic Probation Policy
|
I received a letter
stating that I am now on Probation. What does this
mean?
When you receive a letter from the Vice President for Academic Affairs, either for being placed on Probation 1 or Probation 2 status, it means that you have not made sufficient progress toward keeping your cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the minimum level – 1.4 for freshmen; 1.8 for sophomores, 1. 9 for juniors and 2.0 for seniors. Probation 1 students have 2 full semesters in which to bring their grades up to an acceptable level; Probation 2 students have one final semester in which to pull up their grades or face suspension.
As a Probation 2 student, I am enrolled in GNED 103. What does this class entail?
Academic Strategies for Success, GNED 103, is a two-credit course that is open only to Probation 2 students. The group meets twice weekly and teaches effective study habits and time management, as well as setting realistic academic goals for the coming semesters.
What must I do in order to get off academic probation?
You must reach the current minimum grade point average required for your academic level, depending on your attempted hours. If you have between 1-30 hours, you must have a minimum of a 1.4 GPA. If you have earned 31-60 hours, you must have earned at least a 1.8, and for 61-90 hours, you must earn a 1. 9 GPA. If you have attempted more than 90 hours, you must have a minimum of a 2.0 GPA, which is also the minimum required for graduation.
How do I know what kind of grades I must earn in order to get off Probation?
Every major semester, the Coordinator of Student Intervention sends letters out to Probation 1 and 2 students outlining what grades you must receive if you want to get off Probation. These letters are sent to students within the first month of school. The calculation is based on the number of classes a student takes, if any are repeats and how many hours are attempted. Students can also use the grade calculator provided on My CSU.
