OverviewResearch suggests that as many as a quarter of all undergraduate students may find themselves on academic probation during their collegiate years. If students on probation choose to return to their institutions the semester following notification, they find themselves in a unique transitional period between poor academic performance and either dismissal or recovery. Effectively supporting students through this transition may help to decrease equity gaps in higher education. As recent literature implies, the same demographic factors that affect students' retention and persistence rates (e.g., gender, race and ethnicity, age) also affect the rate at which students find themselves on academic probation. This book serves as a resource for practitioners and institutional leaders. The volume presents a variety of interventions and institutional strategies for supporting the developmental and emotional needs of students on probation in the first year and beyond. The chapters in this book are the result of years of dedication and passion for supporting students on probation by the individual chapter authors. While the chapters reflect a culmination of combined decades of personal experiences and education, collectively they amount to the beginning of a conversation long past due. Scholarship on the impact of academic recovery models on student success and persistence is limited. Historically, attention and resources have been directed toward establishing and strengthening the first-year experience, sophomore programs, and student-success efforts to prevent students from ending up on academic probation. However, a focus on preventative measures without a consideration of academic recovery program design considering the successes of these programs is futile. This volume should be of interest to academics and practitioners focused on creating or refining institutional policies and interventions for students on academic probation. The aim is to provide readers with the language, tools, and theoretical points of view to advocate for and to design, reform, and/or execute high-quality, integrated academic recovery programs on campus. Historically, students on probation have been an understudied and underserved population, and this volume serves as a call to action. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Michael T.

Table of ContentsReviewsAcademic Recovery: Supporting Students on Academic Probation helps to provide information, direction and support for professionals and faculty who are dedicated to helping their students rise from academic difficulty to becoming the scholars we all know they can become. This book provides perspectives on how to advise and coach studentson academic probation, the impact of academic policies and practices, and what advising practitioners, faculty and institutions can do to be proactive in supporting this student population. I recommend this book for thinking through professional and institutional approaches to supporting academic recovery, especially as our students become more diverse. Higher education has always been perceived as a value not only to students but to society overall. This work demands that we evaluate our philosophies, policies, and practices to help all our students succeed. --Melinda J.
