ACADEMIC RECOVERY PROGRAM
We know failing grades, academic probation, and the threat of suspension or dismissal is a stressful and scary time for students and families. The financial and life impacts are huge and finding true, experienced help feels impossible.
Our coaches have extensive experience navigating the complexities of academic probation to guide your student and help them off academic probation and back in good standing. Not only is the weight lifted, but they learn resilience, self confidence, and independence through the process.
How is Academic Recovery Different from Your Other Programs?
Higher Emotional Stakes

- Coaches must provide specialized emotional support and help rebuild confidence before academic strategies can take root.
- There’s often a tight timeline to improve GPA and avoid suspension or loss of financial aid. We will make sure the requirements are met within the time frame required.
- Academic Recovery Program includes more frequent check-ins, progress tracking, and clear short-term goals. It has the option of giving permission for the coach to access the portal outside of typical sessions in order to provide an even higher level of planning, tracking, and accountability.
- Expanded parent onboarding so grades, academic standing, and financial aid requirements can be addressed immediately.
- Coach will personally review all requirements and processes with the university to ensure compliance and success.
