Probationary Students
When a student is placed on probation it is the result of poor grades. Poor grades are a result of different things for different students. The probation program’s aim is to help you identify the possible reasons or situations that led to probation in the first place.
Rather than feel badly about being on probation, praise yourself for taking this step to help yourself. Everyone makes mistakes – it is learning from those mistakes that can make a difference. Once the factors are identified that interfered with your education last semester, specific goals can be set and changes can be made.
