ACADEMIC STANDING ROAD MAP
Keisha is a 1st gen. college student and had a difficult time transitioning to college. She earned a 1.7 GPA in her first semester and was placed on academic probation. She met with her academic advisor, created an academic success plan, and enrolled in UNIV 1003. She earned above a 2.0 for the next two semesters, raised her CGPA to at least 2.0, and returned to good academic standing.
Mohamed's manager wouldn't accommodate his class schedule. He found another job that allowed him to prioritize school, but he ended the semester with a 1.1 TGPA and was placed on academic warning. He had family difficulties the next semester. He met with an academic coach who connected him with counseling services and advised him to contact his professors to see if he could pass his classes. Upon his professors' recommendation, he withdrew from classes to save his GPA. Mohamed continued therapy and returned the next semester in a better mindset. He earned a 3.0 TGPA and returned to good academic standing. Mai was placed on SD1 and sat out a semester. Mai was academically ready to return to UNO, but they were homeless and living out of their car. They met with a financial aid counselor who explained that Mai could receive additional aid due to their housing status. Mai worked with financial aid to be certified as homeless and received enough aid to live on campus. Mai, consistently, earned above a 2.0 TGPA and eventually returned to good academic standing.
