Academic Recovery

At the beginning of spring semester, ACE Coaches and residence life staff hold individual meetings with residential students who had academic difficulties during the fall semester.

Goals for Academic Recovery

  • Provide personal attention to all students identified as academically deficient
  • Identify and assess barriers to the academic success of students who are struggling academically.
  • Provide these students with strategies and resources to aid in their academic success
  • Make appropriate referrals to academic resources and other student services
  • Increase student retention and graduation rates

Who receives an Academic Recovery ACE Session?
Sessions are conducted with students who have a low GPA at the beginning of the spring semester. A low GPA is defined by the University as a 2.0. However, for students who live in certain communities it is a bit higher: Honors College: 2.75, Capstone Scholars: 2.75, Preston Residential College: 2.5, Teaching Fellows: 2.75

Students will receive a letter in mid-January notifying them of an academic recovery appointment.
