Probation is no longer a passive label for a student in academic difficulty.
Under the university's new Academic Standards Policy, all probation students must complete an Academic Recovery Plan based in analysis and a plan of activities to make academic success more likely. A mentor is a person who is willing to work with one probation student to assist in identifying and implementing a plan for change. Mentoring is primarily a relationship. A call for mentors has gone out to all university employees via an Email with attachments. Strong initial response has brought volunteers from all segments of the university.
