Probation

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 are encouraged to engage with the Road to Resilience program, meet with their Academic Advisor, and utilize other academic support resources on campus as referenced in the letter allowing them to continue on Probation. 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.

We are here to support you. The first thing we need from you is for you to reflect on the path thus far, and make a commitment to engage in support to help you forward. You are expected to demonstrate reflection and an action plan in your appeal for probation, so we know you are on the right track. Once enrolled, you must engage with your Academic Advisor shortly after the start of the current term; see below for specific fall/spring and summer term expectations. This process consists of additional personal reflection, goal setting, and working with campus resources in order to achieve success. One of the key elements of Probation is maintaining your relationship with your Academic Advisor.

To support students while on probation, Academic Advisors are available to engage with students on self-reflection, goal setting, and working with campus resources to achieve success.  If you are on probation during a Fall/Spring semester, we expect you to engage with an Academic Advisor during the first month of the Fall/Spring semester, – taking advantage of the support early on will help you maximize your opportunities during the Fall/Spring semester and see improvement in your academics.

All students should start by completing the online Self-Assessment. From there, we have two ways to engage:

Option 1: Engage in Individual Support

Schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor. In this meeting, you will review your online Self-Assessment and complete an Academic Success Plan together. We also expect that you will schedule & attend a follow-up appointment with your Academic Advisor. Students who meet with their Advisor on multiple occasions show increased improvement in their academics.

Option 2: Enroll in Road to Resilience

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.

All students are paired with an Academic Eligibility Advisor and may choose to utilize one-on-one support beyond the expectations above.

To support students while on probation, Academic Advisors are available to engage with students on self-reflection, goal setting, and working with campus resources to achieve success.  If you are on probation during a Summer session, we expect you to engage with an Academic Advisor during the first month of the Summer session, – taking advantage of the support early on will help you maximize your opportunities during the Summer session and see improvement in your academics.
