Academic Warning Support

Being placed on academic warning can feel scary but the Academic Achievement Center is here to help! Academic warning is an academic standing placed on student records at the end of each semester. If you see this standing with your semester grades, it means that you are below the GPA required to stay in good academic standing and it's a serious indicator that you may be dismissal from the university if your GPA remains low.

Many students have had an academic warning assigned and have been able to move forward successfully with a little help from the Academic Achievement Center!

Here are a few basic strategies a student can use to help themselves off warning.

• Clean your transcript

Consider retaking a course you got a D or F in as a way to increase your GPA and get off warning. A "C" or higher grade will substitute your previous substandard grade. If you have to drop a class, drop before the "W" deadline, usually the fourth week for 16-week courses.

• Evaulate committments

Reduce your committments to clubs, outside activities, etc. can give you more time focus on each course, especially if you have work or family obligations. Remember, you can't be apart of clubs and other unviersity acitivies if you're not an active student.

• Utilize all your resources

Kansas State has countless resources to utilize to help you succeed -- academically, personally, physically, emotionally, and financial.

• Get a tutor

The AAC has Content Tutors available in over 80 different courses and when there's not a content tutor, there's Study Skills Tutors.

• Meet with your Academic Coach

Meeting with your Academic Coach will help you set a realistic goal and come up with a path to reach that goal, checking in monthly to make sure things are headed in the right direction. Look for the meeting invitation in your email inbox to schedule an appointment.
