Research 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.
