Policy Analysis
Reworking Academic Probation to Promote Student Success
When we interviewed comebacker students last year, we heard their issues loud and clear: current academic probation policies and practices pose significant obstacles to student success and completion. To address their concerns, we highlight how institutions can reform academic probation, ensuring students receive the support to return to (or maintain) good academic standing and achieve their full potential in college and beyond.
