Progress Report (Midterm Grades)
Discuss midterm grades with the student. If a student is struggling, please direct them to our campus resources (Study Skills Workshops apache.northgeorgia.edu/AAC/indexAAC.shtml, Math lab, Writing lab, Tutoring (706-864-1433), Counseling (706-864-1819), etc.
Academic Probation
Repeating courses and earning a higher grade is the quickest way to raise the GPA. Encourage students to retake courses with grades of D’s and F’s as quickly as possible while subject is still fresh in their mind. Not more than 25 percent of the credits for graduation may carry grades of D.
Undergraduate students who are not in good academic standing (probation or warning) are required to meet with his/her academic advisor prior to registration to obtain a second PIN number (ALTPin). Online registration is permitted but the ALTPin is required to access Registration. This ALTPin requirement remains until student is back in good academic standing.
Alternate PIN number.
Ensure that all students with less than 45 earned hours receive a completed, fully detailed, and signed copy of the Permit-to-Register with the required ALT PIN number on it and make sure a completed and signed copy of the Permit-to-Register remains in the students’ folder. Remind students that the ALT PIN number will be good through drop/add period of the following semester.
