Just wanted to share some preliminary data with you on the academic progress of 446 conditionally admitted students served by the Office of Retention and Academic Support (ORAS) during SOAR under the guidance of Ms. Cynthia Benion. Due to the large number of conditionally admitted students, ORAS developed and implemented a specialized program, ASAP, for conditionally admitted students at Alabama A&M University in Fall 2008. Components of the program include early connection the first-time freshmen during SOAR; individualized intrusive academic advising and counseling; ASAP’s two signature workshops, How to Graduate in Four Years and How To Get an A in College Classes; helping students to develop short- and long-term goals, and connecting them to appropriate campus resources. The retention and academic success data for these first-time, conditionally admitted students have been certainly impressive.
