Adjusted Scholastic Standards policy for students on academic probation. See Academic Alerts in RAMweb

Dear <PREFERRED_FIRST_NAME>:

You are receiving this email because as a new undergraduate student in Spring 2020, your first term GPA was less than 1.0. You chose the option of returning this semester with probation academic standing.

We believe that you have been identifying areas where you may have experienced challenges and are determining how best to address them to return in good standing. We are here to help.

At the same time, the university is aware that current challenges of remote learning may be undesirably impacting your academic success. Consequently, the Faculty Council Scholastic Standards Committee and Provost Office adjusted the academic policies based on the COVID-19 situation for Fall 2020.

This scholastic standing policy change will only help your academic standing. In other words, if you raise your grades to a cumulative 2.0 GPA at the end of Fall 2020, you will regain good academic standing. If your cumulative GPA is below a 2.0 after Fall 2020 you will remain in the probation process rather than being academic dismissed. Instead, you will automatically have an opportunity to earn a term 2.0 GPA in at least 12 graded credits in Spring 2021. Other academic policy changes are mentioned below.*

We strongly encourage you to connect with your Academic Success Coordinator/Academic Advisor to discuss your current academic experiences and how these adjusted policies impact you. Contact information for your Academic Success Coordinator or Academic Advisor is available on RAMweb or by contacting your academic department. You can also contact Juan Rivas, Collegiate Success Coach in the Collaborative for Student Achievement by calling 970-491-7095 or by email at Juan.Rivas@colostate.edu.

We look forward to working with you and are confident we will one day celebrate your graduation from CSU. Remember- Rams take care of Rams.

Sincerely,

Gaye G. DiGregorio
Executive Director, The Collaborative for Student Achievement
Acting on Behalf of the Committee on Scholastic Standards
