W2. Cultivating a New Academic Probation Policy: Change Agents, Collaborators and Campus Commitment

1:00 - 2:55 pm; Room: South Prairie; $20

Presenter:   Jane Jacobson

Abstract:

Affecting change by re-writing a major university policy at an institution of higher education is a time and energy consuming endeavor. Learn how an Academic Probation Policy was re-written to improve early identification of students academically at risk and the interventions that were initiated to assist them in staying on track to graduation. Included will be the changes that were instituted, the vital role of the intervention, the collaboration of academic affairs, student affairs, faculty and information technology services, the implementation process and how it is working one academic year later.

This workshop will empower advisors to be change agents by walking them through the process we experienced in redrawing our institutional academic probation policy. Participants will examine their probation policies and philosophies, identify campus collaborators, and design an outline for change on their campus.
