Academic Success Counseling

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, we are here to support you!  Please watch this short PASS Steps to Registration video or contact your campus counseling office (below) for instructions on how to receive advisement and registration for the current semester.

Watch PASS Steps to Registration

Students should plan ahead and take advantage of priority registration periods: March (Summer Term), April (Fall Semester) and November (Spring Semester). During these times, you may be provided more opportunities for individual appointments and additional time with a counselor. During peak registration, group sessions are offered to provide service to a larger number of students.

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 who have received an Academic Suspension or Academic Dismissal may contact the Dean of Students office at your home campus for further instructions.

Students seeking a meeting for Academic Probation must schedule an appointment using NAVIGATE Student. If an appointment is not available with your designated counselor, you can schedule a meeting with any available counselor at the College for Academic Probation. Attempt to build your Academic Planner in NAVIGATE for the upcoming semester prior to your appointment. Please click here and review the quick video instructions for appointments and the Academic Planner.

Please know that during peak registration individual appointments may not be available, and you may have to attend a PASS Session. Walk-in advising/registration approval and Virtual Advising is not available for this service.
