CCC's Success Program: Counseling, Caring and Campus Involvement.
Akridge, Sharon A.; Ross, Peter
Cuyahoga Community College (CCC), Western Campus, has developed an admissions/counseling cooperative program to assist underprepared, probationary, or academically dismissed students to effect positive changes in their educational record and personal lives. The program includes the following components: (1) computer monitoring of students' grades and the placement on academic probation of students falling below minimum academic requirements; (2) assistance in readmission for academically dismissed students, including a meeting with the Director of Admissions and Records to review academic history and goals; assistance in the completion of a readmission petition; and limitations on course schedule and load; (3) a "College Survival Strategies" course designed to analyze and augment the student's study skills techniques; and (4) a grade forgiveness program, which allows students to petition for the removal of up to 15 credit hours of F from their cumulative grade point average (GPA). Attachments include CCC policy statements on student success, readmission after academic dismissal, academic and disciplinary probation or dismissal; sample letters regarding academic dismissal and requests for readmission; a syllabus for "College Survival Strategies"; a blank petition for GPA adjustment under the grade forgiveness program; and a sample academic record.
