At-Risk Advising Program


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
Extrinsically motivated
Unable to effectively handle own affairs/ low self-efficacy
Not self-disciplined

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.
