Academic Intervention
Academic Intervention is a practice used by Lake Michigan College
to assist students with successfully maintaining required Academic
Standards of Progress. Several intervention strategies are proactively
employed by the College, including Supplemental Instruction, Freshman
Seminar, and a tutoring program. You should talk with your counselor/advisor
to access these services.
If your cumulative GPA does fall below the level required to
maintain satisfactory academic standing, you will be subject to
more aggressive intervention strategies, including begin placed
on Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal from the College for
one or more semesters.
Students placed on academic intervention for any semester will
be required to see a designated intervention advisor before the
end of the drop-add period of that semester. Authorization form
that advisor will be required to register for or remain in classes
for which the students have already registered.
Academic Probation
Students placed on Academic Probation for any semester will be
required to see a designated advisor prior to registering. The
designated advisor will develop a written plan of help for the
student. This plan will be discussed with the student during their
meeting with the designated advisor.
Students on Academic Probation will be required to:
- Meet with the same designated advisor at least three times
during that semester.
- Limit their enrollment as described in the student's plan
of help. A study skills class is strongly recommended.
- Obtain a grade of "C" or better for each class in
which they are enrolled.
Students who fail to meet these requirements will be subject
to Academic Dismissal.
Academic Dismissal
If a student who has been placed on Academic Probation does not
meet the three requirements of Academic Probation, they will be
prohibited from enrolling in classes at LMC for one semester.
This semester of non-enrollment must be following Fall or Winter
semester. At the time they return to LMC, they will automatically
reenter the Academic Probation program and be expected to accomplish
all requirements as stated in items 1 - 3 above.
Academic intervention advisors will:
- Meet with the students at least three times during the semester
in which they have been placed on Academic Probation.
- Provide the student information about sources of help and
assist them in accessing resources that are deemed most beneficial.
- Provide students information on withdrawing from classes and
other information and/or material appropriate for enabling them
to pursue their educational goals more successfully.
Appeal Process
Students who have been notified of their academic dismissal from
Lake Michigan College may appeal in writing to the Dean of Student
Development following the college's Due Process procedure.
