Pre-Academic Probation Advising
We are concerned about your success and want to help you improve your academic standing and
performance. Each semester that a student’s GPA is below a 2.0, a hold will be placed on their account.
The hold will prevent the student from changing their course registration. The student must complete
required Homework and meet with an advisor before the hold will be removed.
Through the required homework and advising appointment, you will:
 understand the implications of being placed on academic probation
 discuss your academic progress
 learn about available academic success resources
 determine appropriate strategies to improve your academic performance
Before your Pre-Probation Advising Appointment, you must complete the following homework:
.
1. Request and print your full DARS For instructions on how to request and read a DARS
report, please see http://psychology.clas.asu.edu/files/DARS Report Instructions
