Counselors assess and evaluate student challenges and provide resources for improvement toward successful academic and personal outcomes. They implement interventions and strategies that enable students to manage and overcome barriers to academic and personal success. Special direct attention is provided to students who are not in good academic standing; however, counselors may also work with other students who are experiencing challenges that may affect their academic progress and success.
If you are a student on Academic Probation, contact your campus counseling office (below) for instructions on how to receive advisement and registration for the current semester. It is advised that students take advantage of priority registration periods and receive service in advance. Students should contact the offices in March for Summer Term, April for Fall Semester and November for Spring Semester. During these times, you may be provided more opportunities for individual appointments and additional time with a counselor. During peak registration, service may be altered with limited or no individual appointments to provide service to a larger number of students. Thus, it is very important for students to plan ahead and request support in a timely fashion.
If this is your first time on academic probation, you are required to view the PASS Video and submit the PASS Survey prior to your meeting with a counselor.
Students in the Pathway to Baccalaureate program should contact their assigned Pathways Advisor or Counselor.
Students who have received an Academic Suspension or Academic Dismissal may contact the Dean of Students office at your home campus for further instructions.
