Academic warning is an academic standing assignment placed on some student records at the end of each term.
If you see this standing assignment on your semester grades, it means that you either were previously in good academic standing or had no prior standing assigned to you and that you are either below the GPA or academic progress pace (credits attempted vs. earned) required to stay in good academic standing for the semester. Many students have had an academic warning assigned, and have been able to move forward successfully with a little help.
If you are a first year student at Salem State receiving an Academic Warning in your first fall semester, you will need to register for and attend the FYE Student Success Summit.
What should I do if I get an academic warning?
You should review your academic record and look at both your GPA and academic progress rate. If you had to withdraw from a course or have failed a course, you may want to consider adding that course to your schedule for the upcoming term or taking a summer class to catch up. You may also want to consider other support services such as tutoring, counseling, using the math lab or the writing center for help in your classes. We also have a Student Success site in Canvas that has a large number of resources to support student success, with links to articles, past workshops and available future workshops in areas to support study skills, time management, adjusting to online classes and many more.
