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

  • Provided targeted outreach to all Portland Scholars who were on AW.
  • Reached out to all academic chairs with courses that first year students earned a DFW in that were also on AW/AP to determine if SASS can help with academic support

In Progress

  • Starting recruitment to hire and pilot a new approach, STAR (Success Training for Academic Recovery), for first-year students who go on academic warning in their first term starting in AY 2025-2026, but the recruitment hit an unexpected delay. Will work on this initiative in AY 2026-2027.

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
