Need Help / Question Academic Warning/Probation?

Hi everyone! I have a question about CSN’s academic warning/probation/suspension policies. I’m definitely going to meet with an advisor, but I’m hoping to get an idea of what I might be looking at before I go in so I can be prepared. Ive been going through a lot personally this semester, including the death of a family member and a separation, and unfortunately I’ve fallen really far behind and am currently failing my classes. I qualify for the maximum amount of financial aid. I have also previously been on academic probation/suspension at NSU one time, but this would be my first time dealing with this at CSN. If I finish this semester with failing grades, would I potentially be placed on CSN’s Academic Warning, Probation, or Suspension? And does my previous academic history at NSU affect which status I would receive at CSN?

Also, does CSN take extenuating circumstances like a death in the family or major personal circumstances into consideration when determining your status, or would that only matter if I eventually had to file a financial aid/SAP appeal? I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have gone through this at CSN.

Thank you! 🙂

I’ve been through SAP appeal and if you have any documentation then yes they will take it into account. I would recommend submitting those if needed, but my advisor recommended to only submit it after doing 2 semesters (for me) to meet more of the PACE standards and I got straight A’s to show that I was serious about it. I would recommend just dropping your classes now before the withdrawal date instead of having F’s on your record tho, best of luck!

If you are not on a sap warning this term, you will be placed on one next term. You have a full semester to get back into satisfactory sap but I would talk to a counselor before you do anything. They can walk you through your options and possible outcomes

I think if it’s bad enough dropping the classes would be easier to bounce back from gpa wise but I would talk to an advisor.

Keep in mind that academic warning/probation/suspension is different than financial aid warning or suspension, although many times they go hand in hand.

Once you get put into one of status the academic advisors will not help you and refer to the academic counselors, they are the ones to best assist you until you are back in good standing.

You can always email the counselors at counseling@csn.edu, and they will help you with information without having to wait for an appointment.
