In an effort to provide early intervention for freshmen who are placed on probation, the First Year Probation Program was developed in Fall 2002.  Students in the program are new freshmen who have less than 30 hours, and a grade point average (gpa) of less than 1.70.A probation hold is placed on SIS for each of these students and they are sent a letter listing their requirements for the next semester. They are required to enroll for MWSU 1003 - Skills for Success, repeat two classes in which grades of D or F were earned, and can choose to take one exercise physiology activity and one other course - limiting their hours to no more than 14. These students must clear their schedules with their academic advisors. At the end of each Fall and Spring term, a new cohort will be selected. We are hopeful that this early intervention will direct the student's academic studies toward success.
