Academic Support Programs

Help Eliminate Probation (HELP)

Students placed on academic probation because of a cumulative grade point deficiency must be re-advised. Advisors may send them to the mentoring section of the SAM Center for help in recovering their grade point average and avoiding suspension.

In addition to attending a 6-week group study skills series, individual assistance is provided to each mentored student. In general, mentors will review study skills strategies and encourage students to seek out tutoring as well as talk to their professors. Twice a semester, students are also encouraged to submit a grade check form, which serves as an official grade report from each professor. This allows mentors to monitor each students performance and implement any new strategies as necessary.
