Scholastic Probation and Dismissal

The Vice President of Student Services will notify the student of academic/progress probation or dismissal at or near the beginning of the semester in which probation/ dismissal will take effect. The College will notify students of counseling and other support services designed to assist their return to good academic standing. Students on academic probation are encouraged to:

1. Attend an Academic Success Workshop which highlights the reasons, rules, and remedies for their probation status. Referrals and recommendations will show them how to access campus resources such as tutoring, study skills, labs, guidance courses, and other workshops which support their academic success.
2. Schedule an appointment with a Guidance Counselor who can assess their current status, and design a written educational plan which directs them toward their academic success.
3. Visit the College Probation website for additional information: www.deltacollege.edu/dept/guidance/probation.
