Academic Standing Policies - We recommend that you reference the catalog online with students when discussing their standing. This is a small gesture to continue to express the idea that they are responsible for informing themselves on academic policy, beginning with the catalog.
Academic Probation Contract - This document is used to impress students with the seriousness of their academic situation. Please note, some departments have adopted this form, others use something else. Please check with your department to see what they require for students on probation.
