Academic Warning

Category: How can we help you?

Should I be concerned if I get an academic warning?

Professors give academic warnings for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

• Excessive absences
• Poor test or quiz performance
• Inadequate preparation/study habits
• Poor class participation
• Incomplete or late assignments
• Course comprehension
• Any other reason that the professor feels is vital to success that is not being met

These warnings do not mean that you are going to fail the class, but they do mean that you are in danger of failing if you continue to perform in the same academic manner. In any case, make sure you go to visit your professor if you have gotten an academic warning. If you are having problems with the course material or test taking, you should consider seeking out a departmental tutor or other resources.
