The purpose of the At-Risk
Intrusive Advising Program is to determine those students
who are “at-risk” of academic failure based on specific defining
criteria, and to facilitate their college success by strengthening
their areas of weakness through intrusive advising techniques
(questionnaires, surveys, interaction, tracking, and monitoring) and
collaborative efforts between Career & Advising Services, academic
advisors, and other campus resources in a concentrated effort to
invest in our students.
Students “at-risk”:
Conditionally Admitted Students
Petition Students (for admission reinstatement)
First-year Students with midterm grades below
2.0
Students referred
by instructor or advisor
Who are also:
Academically disadvantaged
“skills, knowledge, motivation, and/or academic
ability are significantly below those of the ‘typical’ student in
the college or curriculum in which they are enrolled” (Maxwell).
low academic self-concept
unrealistic grade expectations
inadequate study skills
believes learning is memorizing
history of passive learning
Unrealistic about career expectations
Unfocused regarding career objectives

At-risk students should be referred to
Career & Advising Services.
Career &
Advising Services will track at-risk students and collaborate with
advisors and instructors to promote retention and success. |
