Abstract:
Students on academic probation automatically get bias attached to them by their family, their friends, their peers, and even themselves. Understanding the different reasons behind how students end up on academic probation and destigmatizing academic probation is one of the first steps to helping students regain their confidence around academics and ultimately, getting them back in good academic standing. SOS Peer Mentoring both helps students understand what being on academic probation means and supports them through the semester with the hopes of getting them back on track.
