The Center for Student Success advisors work with students whose academic performance falls below the institution’s requirement of good standing, a 2.00 GPA. Students with a career GPA below 1.99 are on academic probation. If academic difficulty continues, it is possible for a student to be suspended or dismissed. In support of the student, advisors often work with them to develop a plan for success. To do this they must work in partnership and understand the causes of the current situation, identify what needs to change, and implement a plan for improvement. Its intention is to reconnect the student to the school and its purpose to educate them academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Programming in the form of individual advising sessions with students, workshops, and referrals to key resources on and off campus is required for students on academic probation or who have been admitted due to a Special Admit status. The individual advising sessions and workshops provide students with training in both collegiate learning, personal understanding, and motivation towards success. All Oakwood University students are welcome to attend the individual sessions or workshops, but it is a requirement for students on academic probation.
