Academic Notice (No Hold) Instructions
What should I do now that I am on Academic Notice?
You have already successfully completed an intervention course, so another is not required of you. However, if you completed a course other than PSY 125-The Psychology of Success or IDS 110: The Choices We Make, you may consider enrolling in either of these courses for the next semester.
Does being on Academic Notice impact my course selection?
Maybe. If you have already selected your courses for this coming semester, you should meet with an advisor to discuss possible changes to your schedule. Retaking classes you have previously been unsuccessful in is a very good strategy to help raise your GPA. Only the highest grade is used to calculate your GPA. Make an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss your options and plan for your academic success.
If you have not selected your courses for the coming semester yet, meet with your
advisor or call 1-800-818-3434 to schedule an appointment to attend an advising and
registration session. Drop-in Academic Advising is available, please see the Academic
Advising website for details: https://www.middlesex.mass.edu/advising/
