Academic Recovery
Even with the best plans, life can sometimes get in the way of your academic ambitions. When your academic performance falls short of the University standards for Academic Good Standing, the Student Academic Success Center (SASC) is here to support you in your academic recovery. As outlined in the University Catalog, students in academic recovery may be in one of three Academic Standing categories listed below:
If it is your first semester at Texas A&M University-San Antonio (transfer or freshman) and at the end of your first term you earn less than a 2.0 institutional GPA, you will be placed on Academic Warning. To get off academic warning, you must raise your institutional GPA to 2.0 or higher by the following term. If you do not raise your GPA to 2.0 within one semester or term, you will be placed on scholastic probation. All students on academic warning are encouraged to meet with an Academic Coach. Credit hours will be limited to 13. Students will not be required to complete an academic recovery program.
You will be placed on scholastic probation at Texas A&M University-San Antonio if your overall grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0. If you are on probation for the first time, you may enroll in up to 13 credit hours each semester and will remain limited to this amount until your institutional GPA returns to 2.0 or higher, at which point you will be considered back in good standing.
While on scholastic probation, you must participate in an academic recovery program called LEAP and meet with an Academic Coach to register for the following term. As long as you earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher while on probation, you will not be dismissed from the university and will be allowed to continue enrolling in courses each semester.
Academic Dismissal (A1, A2, A3)
If you have been placed on scholastic probation and earn below a 2.0 semester or term GPA, you will face academic dismissal. Since this is your first dismissal, you must sit out for one semester. During this time, you must complete an academic appeal, submit a personal letter, and create an academic success plan. The appeal deadlines are as follows: [insert table].
If you receive a second or subsequent dismissal from the University, you will be required to sit out for a full academic year (fall, spring, and summer) before you can re-apply. To re-apply, you must do so through https://www.goapplytexas.org, pay the admissions fee, and submit an appeal to the University by the deadlines provided below. The appeal deadlines are as follows: [insert table].
Regardless of your academic standing, the Student Academic Success Center (SASC) staff members are available to provide you with custom services and programmatic support to guide you along your path to academic recovery. Whether you are working individually with an Academic Success Coach or participating in one of the University’s required Academic Recovery programs (LEAP Program), by partnering with the SASC, you will:
- Increase your knowledge and understanding of academic standing policies, procedures, and appeals.
- Identify and assess barriers to your academic success.
- Research strategies and resources to aid you in academic recovery.
- Seek appropriate referrals to academic and campus resources.
- Create a realistic Academic Recovery Action Plan to guide you back to Academic Good Standing.
Academic Success Coaches are here to support you and serve as a resource during your education journey at A&M-San Antonio.
