Academic Warning Workshop / Academic Probation Intervention

Project Status: Monitor/Assess

This workgroup was formed to revise the existing Academic Warning Workshop. Looking carefully at student feedback, data trends, and success metrics, it was apparent that a redesign was essential to accomplish the workshop’s goals. The launch of the new Academic Warning Workshop was at the end of the summer 2023 term.

Accomplished

  • Executed targeted outreach to all Portland Scholars who were on Academic Warning (AW). 

In Progress

  • Conducting interviews to hire staff and pilot a new approach, STAR (Success Training for Academic Recovery), for first-term first-year students placed on Academic Warning, launching in AY 2026–2027
  • Collaborating with academic departments this summer to identify courses where first-year students receiving DFW grades are also on AW or AP, with the goal of determining if SASS can provide academic support. 

Project Health

  • Returning students on AW will need to meet with an advisor to have their hold removed
  • With the increased demand for academic coaching appointments, there is concern about availability for AP appointments
  • Looking to move towards supporting the AW/AP population now that the interventions are in place
