Abstract:
|
First-year students struggle with their transition to college. Many of them may have been strong students in high school but are not prepared for the amount of effort they must put forth towards college assignments and their time management. Statistically, 20-25% of first semester students will earn a GPA below a 2.0 at the end of their first semester and be placed on a form of academic warning (AW) or probation. This leads the student to disconnect with the college and, in many cases, drop out. First year students need close, "hands on" support from the college and their academic advisors when they receive this warning. It helps the students to find that much-needed support, a team to help better connect them to resources, and to support them through the process of their second semester. This session will explore the intrusive academic warning program established by the Academic Advisement Information Center (AAIC) at a mid-sized Tri-State institution. The AW advisors will share their action plan and data to support this intrusive advising program. |
