We understand. You are never alone.
The Academic Success and Recovery Program (ASRP) supports students on probation or readmitted to SDSU following academic suspension. Program participants are enrolled in either ACS 111 or ACS 140.
ACS 111 is an academic intervention course for students who have been readmitted following academic suspension. This course addresses critical academic and life skills students will be able to utilize to support their success at SDSU.
Throughout the course of the semester, students will have the choice of meeting with a Counseling Practicum student in individual meetings.
ACS 140 is a course designed for students who have been placed on probation to help them regain good standing.
Students are matched with peer mentors, who are SDSU students regularly attending ACS 140 to interact with and get to know their peer mentees during class. Students then meet with their assigned peer mentor throughout the course of the semester.
What these courses have in common are, they:
- Will empower students to become proactive, responsible self-advocates through utilization of strategies, which strengthen skills required for greater academic success.
- Are designed to help students identify issues that led to the probation or suspended status.
- Help develop a plan of action to ensure future academic success, increase personal responsibility and self-management.
Students have the opportunity to receive one-on-one guidance from an ASRP advisor. Plus, students have access to tutoring and other resources to fit their needs.
Students who actively participate and successfully pass these courses report:
- Higher levels of achievement.
- Increased motivation.
- Increases in term and cumulative GPAs.
- Less stress, anxiety and a stronger connection to and use of resources on campus.
What our students have to say!
"I just met my graduation requirements yesterday and looking back at my college experience, it was quite hectic and full of different surprises! I lost hope many times on the way, and the only person who was able to give me any sort of hope or help me believe in myself to graduate was definitely you [ACS 140 instructor and success advisor]! You have helped me much more than you would expect, and my challenges were rather unique for a regular college student.
Again, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated talking to you and how thankful I am for crossing paths with you."
We are happy to help!
