The College of Natural Sciences has several programs to support students on scholastic probation.
For first-year students, there is a class each Spring called NSC 209: Spring Scholastic Seminar, which provides students with strategies and tools to help them bounce back from a tough first semester, including a personal coach or mentor to meet with on a regular basis.
Students not in their first year can participate in the CNS Success Program. Success is a weekly meeting with an academic advisor and student mentors who were once on scholastic probation themselves. By creating a community and sharing strategies for Success, this program helps students meet their goals. Students who are eligible for the Success program will receive an email inviting them to participate. Participation in these programs is voluntary, but CNS encourages all students on scholastic probation to take advantage of these resources.
If the scholastic probation is due to non-academic issues (e.g., personal emergency, health or mental health challenge, etc.), CNS also has non-academic counselors available to you for consultation regarding these issues. Their role is not that of a mental health counselor, but they would be able to assist with problem-solving, information, referrals, emergency notifications and assistance with non-academic or medical drops and withdrawals.
