Step-It-Up Program

The Step-it-Up program is an academic intervention program designed to assess and work with students who are on or close to academic probation (GPA<2.0) in an effort to retain that student. The program consists of needs assessment survey results, which are used to allocate resources and make referrals to internal and external resources needed. Each student is mentored by graduate students (Academic Coaches) from the Graduate Counselor Education program during one-on-one meetings each week. A suite of workshops is offered to this population and well as to the incoming freshmen who indicate a need for additional assistance in these areas.
