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

  • Updated AW workshop to ensure all information is accurate.
  • Reviewed the most current data of students who go on academic warning and academic probation to determine if there were trends for specific groups of students.
  • Tried to hire and pilot a new approach, STAR (Success Training for Academic Recovery), for first-year students who go on academic warning their first term starting in AY 2025-2026, but the new academic coach found a new role. Will work on this initiative in AY 2026-2027.

In Progress

  • Working with all Portland Scholars who are on AW.

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
