Getting to Know You Name Educational Goal Major

Back to Success You’re here because you are a “First-time” student on probation. Now you MUST attend a probation workshop. Research shows early intervention will benefit the student.

Probation Defined TWO types of probation: 1) ACADEMIC – tied to cumulative GPA 2) PROGRESS – tied to excessive I’s (Incomplete), NP’s (No Pass) & W’s (Withdrawals)

Academic Probation Student has attempted at least 12 units. Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) is below a 2.0 (C) Example Math 4 units W English 4 units C Art 3 units D Health 3 units C 1.7 GPA 14 units attempted 10 units completed

Progress Probation Student has attempted at least 12 units. Accumulated 50% or more units of “W”, “I”, or “ NP ” Example Math 4 units W English 4 units W Art 3 units A Health 3 units A 4.0 GPA 14 units attempted 6 units completed

Dismissal/Disqualification Dismissal

How Did I Get Here? Be honest with yourself about the habits, choices or life experiences that have resulted in your probation. Being on probation is not a failure. This does not have to define who you are. You have the power to get back on track and move forward successfully!

How Did I Get Here Too many worked hours? Too many classes? No major? Why am I going to college? Missed the date to drop the class? “My instructor was going to drop me!” Not ready; you can’t keep up with the work? Refresh on some basic skills.
