Mission Statement

The Office for Academic Success provides personalized, proactive support that helps students reset, refocus, and move forward.

Academic Reset

If your cumulative GPA falls below 2.0, you enter Recovery Status and participate in Academic Reboot, a structured plan designed to help you bounce back.

  • Individualized academic recovery planning
  • Required advisor check-ins
  • Skill-building support
  • Clear goals and progress tracking

Recovery Status is about rebuilding momentum, not punishment.
