Student FAQs
I received an email and letter that says I have to meet with Academic Success Coaching (ASC). How do I sign up and do I need to attend?
All freshmen on probation are required to meet with Academic Success Coaching 3 times in the semester. To schedule a meeting students can do so at the link provided in the email that was sent or by contacting ASC at asc@mail.fresnostate.edu.
Why do I need to meet with ASC if I am a freshman on probation?
Students who are connected with an Academic Coach obtain at least a letter grade difference in their GPA and have a 80% chance of returning the following semester compared to 0% of students who do not. While we understand that this can be an additional responsibility, we highly encourage you to meet with ASC at least three times in the semester. Your academic coach can be a source of motivation for you and help to provide effective study strategies and resources for your classes.
I am unable to add or make changes to my schedule. Is it the ASC probation hold that is preventing me from making changes to my schedule?
The ASC probation hold does not affect your current course schedule. If you are having difficulties with making schedule changes, please contact the Registrar office or your major advisor.
When will my probation hold get lifted?
Your probation hold will be lifted after completing your 3 sessions with Academic Success Coaching. It is recommended that you meet with your Academic Coach at least once a month.
What if I need to meet with an Academic Coach during the week of registration to lift my hold?
There will be one day of drop-in for students to connect with an Academic Coach on Tuesday, April 22nd from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Students can access drop-in both in person and through Zoom.
