Probation
Students must meet all four academic standards to be in good standing. We know you can meet these requirements, and have designed a process to help you to address the causes of your academic difficulties.
Our Thrive Booklet is full of opportunities and programs here at Carolina.
Students who successfully appeal their “Suspension – Not Eligible to Enroll” status are granted one term of Probation. Probation is a one term opportunity to return to Good Standing. During the term on Probation, students must engage in the Restoring Eligibility Program through Academic Advising as well as other resources on campus. Students must review their academic status at the end of every term. The official academic status in ConnectCarolina for students on Probation is “Probation – Eligible to Enroll.” Academic status is found under the “Academics” tab in “Student Center.” Students will have a status of “Probation – Eligible to Enroll” if they have been approved for Probation by appeal.
To support students through the probation process, our team has designed a program that consists of personal reflection, goal setting, and working with campus resources in order to achieve success. If you are approved for probation for the Fall 2020 term, we expect you to engage in the restoring eligibility process by October 2nd – taking advantage of the support early on will help you to maximize your opportunities during the semester and see improvements in your academics. One of the key elements of being enrolled while on probation is maintaining your relationship with your assigned Academic Eligibility advisor. There are two ways to participate:
Option 1: Engage in Individual Support
- Complete the online Self-Assessment.
- Schedule & attend a Student Success Consultation with your assigned Academic Eligibility Counselor (this appointment should be completed within the first four weeks of the term). Together with your Counselor, you will complete the Academic Success Plan (you will be provided this worksheet at the meeting). Schedule & attend a follow-up appointment with your Academic Eligibility Counselor.
Option 2: Enroll in Road to Resilience
- Complete the online Self-Assessment.
- Register for Road to Resilience: a supportive, small-group experience in which students on Warning/Probation meet on a weekly basis to reflect on past habits, develop personal ownership over their personal and academic success, and strengthen academic skills while developing a community with their peers.
More information about Summer 2021 support will be available in April 2021.
We invite students to take advantage of all of the resources available, including both the Academic Success Consultation and Road to Resilience.
*If you are unable to attend a scheduled meeting, it is a common courtesy to provide advanced notice so that other students may benefit from this availability.
