  • Advising for SAP Workshop
    How do I effectively work with students who are not making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?  This session will help you answer that question!  Degree Works will be utilized to identify and interpret students’ academic standing, how they got to that standing, and what requirements will need to be met to get them back into compliance.  Best practices for advising in subsequent semesters will be discussed.  Common themes that impact students’ academic progress will be shared, and available resources to support student success will be highlighted.   An overview of the College’s SAP Policy, and the academic review process will be looked at in preparation for this discussion.
    Presenters: Amy Coon, School Specialist, Schools at MCC and Vicki Pankratz, School Specialist, Schools at MCC
