Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm on Academic Probation. The University notified me by email (or letter). What should I do?
A: If you are on Academic Probation, you will need to make an appointment with your advisor to discuss your academic standing. Prior to meeting with your advisor, please complete the online College Success Assessment. The focus of the conversation will be on the completed assessment and strategies for success to include a review of course registration for the upcoming term. An academic probation(AP) hold on your account will prevent you from changing your course schedule.
After meeting with your advisor, the AP hold is removed from your account.
Distance education students must complete the College Success Assessment and mail/fax it to their DDE advisor or their DDE Center Director.
Q: Will my financial aid change now that I am on probation and/or suspension?
A: The status of probation will not effect your aid. Suspended students must meet with the Academic Standards Committee prior to working out financial aid issues. The Financial Aid Committee will not discuss your case until your standing is resolved. Once resolved (and if you have a financial aid issue) you will follow the directions outlined in your notification from the Financial Aid Office.
Sometimes suspended students are reinstated but their credits are limited. If credits are limited to nine or less then one's financial aid award will also be adjusted to reflect a drop from full-time to 3/4 or 1/2 time status.
Q: I've been reinstated from suspension and have a contract with the committee. I must pass all my courses with a grade of "C" or better. It is mid-term and I am not doing well in one of my courses. What should I do?
A: Start with the professor of the course in which you are experiencing difficulty. See if the two of you can come up with strategies that can lead to your successful completion of the course. You might also check in with your academic advisor about the possibility of withdrawing from the course.
