ACADEMIC CRISIS OR PROBATION

Students facing academic crisis are especially vulnerable, and both they and their families are under an enormous amount of pressure. It may be failing a single class, facing academic probation or even suspension, or the potential loss of scholarship money. These are students who often feel immense shame and may even be hiding how precarious their academic standing has become. This leaves students isolated in addressing the issues and without the skills to navigate these challenges they will fall further behind, frequently giving up completely.

Often for families and students, these failing grades and seeming piles of missing or incomplete work feel insurmountable. Students lose belief in themselves and shut down, ultimately impacting their dreams and risking catastrophic consequences financially and emotionally.

But academic crisis is truly not a time to lose hope, no matter how dire it may feel! With the help of an expert in navigating the tools and strategies available to students, this can be an amazing opportunity for success. Our coaches have years of experience creating an individualized remediation plan which includes identifying priority assignments, breaking things into incremental steps, and advocating with teachers and professors. We also have extensive knowledge of the probation process and will walk students and parents through the potential options and resources available.

This may feel like a time of no hope, but your student does have options to get back on track to success!

How Academic Crisis Impacts Student Success:

  • Students are often under extreme pressure to stay enrolled in school and/or maintain scholarships.

  • They are often experiencing negative thoughts and beliefs associated with academic failure and struggling to regain believe in themselves. These beliefs combined with lack of skills creates an emotional spiral that is difficult to escape from without help.

  • These students frequently hide challenges or engage in magical thinking that “things will just work out” because they lack the skills to proactively address their difficulties.

  • Skipping or avoiding classes and professors.
