Colorado State University

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

Dear <PREFERRED_FIRST_NAME>:

We are writing you this letter because we care about you and your academic success and want to help you continue and graduate from Colorado State University. You are receiving this letter because your cumulative GPA continues to be less than a 2.00, the required GPA of all undergraduates in good academic standing Colorado State University. The experience of past students shows that discussion with advisors and other student support services on campus contributes positively to academic growth and student success. We are reaching out to you to provide you with support in locating and using such services.

Due to the adjustment of academic policies based on the coronavirus pandemic for Spring 2020, you continue to be in the second term of the probation process. One option for you is to continue your enrollment in Fall semester 2020. In this case your term GPA after Fall semester 2020 needs to be a 2.0 or above with 12 or more credits. This will allow you one more term of probation to regain good academic standing. If your term GPA continues to be below a 2.0, you will proceed to academic dismissal.

We would also like to offer you another option. If you think it would be beneficial to take 1-3 semester(s) off, and return to CSU later, you may do so. The Freshman Fresh Start option was offered to you after Fall semester and you chose to continue your enrollment. Due to the adjustment of academic policies for Spring 2020, this is still an option for you. Know that we want you to return when you are ready to do so. If you choose this option, you will reapply/return to CSU and begin earning a new cumulative GPA (first and second semester grades remain on the transcript but will not be calculated in your CSU GPA).

With whatever option you choose, we are committed to helping you find resources to be academically successful. We strongly encourage you to connect with your Academic Success Coordinator/Academic Advisor to develop a plan for academic success. Contact information for your Academic Success Coordinator/Academic Advisor is available on RAMweb or by contacting your academic department. You may also want to schedule an appointment to talk with our Collegiate Success Coach, Juan Rivas. Not only is he a coach, he also produces a podcast about student success- ask him about it! You can contact Juan Rivas by calling (970) 491-7095 or by email at Juan.Rivas@colostate.edu.

Additionally, we suggest you research and review the many valuable resources available to you to improve your GPA, including information on tutoring and study skills online at http://outreachandsupport.colostate.edu/academic-resources/.

We look forward to working with you and are confident that using these resources will help you in achieving your academic goals. We look forward to one day helping you celebrate your graduation from CSU. Remember, Rams take care of Rams!
Sincerely,

Sincerely,

Gaye G. DiGregorio
