Students: Academic Planning: Stay on Track: STAR

The STAR Mentoring Program  (Students Taking Academic Responsibility)

Each semester, the Office of Academic and Career Development provides a free service to students on first-time academic probation. The STAR Program is a semester-long intensive mentoring program for University College students in academic difficulty. As noted in the Academic Probation Policy for University College, STAR is a required mandatory intervention option (the other option is participation in group mentoring sessions for the semester) that students may choose.

STAR provides a mentor to support students as they work to get back to good academic standing. The mentors assist students with becoming more focused by working together to address challenges, improve strengths, and connect to the various resources on campus that can help them reach their academic and career goals. There is no financial cost to participate in STAR. However, it requires a commitment on the part of the student to attend their weekly appointments (for 30 minutes) with their mentor and to work hard to improve their academics. A combination of students and professional staff from across campus volunteer each semester to be mentors for the STAR Program.

If you want to know more about this Program, please ask your advisor when you meet to discuss how to get back on track toward good academic standing.
