YOUR PATHWAY TO SUCCESS Your introductory or title slide should convey the overall “feeling” and focus of your presentation. For instance, I typically present about small-business trends, new business ideas, growth opportunities or other positive trends. In this sample presentation, I’m talking about new business ideas, so I used a sun graphic in this slide template to convey a positive feeling. Personalize this slide template with your company’s logo. To add a logo to all slides, place it on the Slide Master. To access the Slide Master, on the Themes tab of the Ribbon, click Edit Master and then click Slide Master.

SUMMER SESSION – Academic Probation Summer session does not count toward Academic Probation status. EX: Joe is on first semester Academic Probation at the end of a spring semester. In the summer session he received under a 2.0 GPA. This would not put him on second semester probation status. When the following fall semester starts he will still be considered on first semester probation. However, Summer can be used as an opportunity to get off Academic Probation. EX: Joe is on first semester Academic Probation at the end of a spring semester. In the summer session he received a 3.5 GPA which brought his cum GPA to over a 2.0. He is now off Academic Probation.

SUMMER SESSION – Progress Probation Summer Session does not count toward Progress Probation status. EX: Susan is on second semester Progress Probation at the end of a spring semester. In the summer session she failed to bring the percentage of her (WIN’s) “W”, “I”, “NC” below 50 percent. This would not result in Susan being dismissed. When the following fall semester starts she will still be considered on second semester progress probation. However, Summer can be used as an opportunity to get off Progress Probation. EX: Susan is on second semester Progress Probation at the end of a spring semester. In the summer session she was successful at lowering the percentage of her (WIN’s) to under 50 percent. She will no longer be on progress probation.

PROBATION DISMISSAL Definition of Probation Dismissal Consequence You have been on Academic and/or Progress Probation for three consecutive semesters. You will be dismissed from Delta for one semester. Consequence

PROBATION DISMISSAL Dismissal only occurs after Spring semester If your 3rd consecutive semester on probation is a Fall semester you are given a one semester exemption. You will be allowed to register for the next Spring semester. However, you will need to complete the Spring semester with a 2.0 GPA or higher , and/or complete 50% or more of the courses you are enrolled in.

PROBATION AFFECTS: YOUR REGISTRATION AND BOGW FEE WAIVER Loss of registration points Late registration appointment Loss of Priority Registration Loss of BOGW Fee Waiver I like to speak spontaneously, so I use PowerPoint as an outline to keep me on track. It’s best to keep your PowerPoint text brief, simply reinforcing key points you will talk about at more length. You can use this slide template to convey a series of steps or related points in a short format.

HOW TO GET OFF PROBATION Academic Renewal Requirements: One year has passed since the completion of a substandard grade. Completed 12 consecutive units with a GPA of 2.00 or above since the completion of the sub-standard grade(s). Make a Counseling appointment to start this process. Repeating classes Classes in which a D, F, W, NC were received can be repeated. If you are repeating the class for the first time, and pass with a C or better, the higher grade will be counted in the GPA, not the previous D, F, W, NC grade.

3rd REPETITION OF A COURSE If you want to repeat the same course for a third time, in which you received a grade symbol of “D”, “F”, “NC”, or “W”, you will need to fill out a Course Repeat Petition. You are required to… Meet with a counselor to fill out the Course Repeat Petition. Meet all current prerequisites prior to repeating the course. Submit Course Repeat Petition to Admissions and Records Office. Once the Course Repeat Petition is processed, Admissions office will notify you if the petition is approved or denied via your Delta student e-mail. If the petition is approved, request permission to repeat the course by providing a copy of the approved Course Repeat Petition form to the instructor and completing an Add Form. Submit signed Add Form to Admissions and Records office. You cannot… Register online or get on the waiting list for the course. Drop the course once you are enrolled. You will be required to receive a grade for the course.

FACTORING 3RD REPEAT INTO GPA Will Factor into GPA Won’t Factor into GPA Your grades and grade points will be included in the cumulative GPA if this is only the first repetition of a substandard grade. Example: F W B 1st repetition with a grade Your grades and grade points will not be included in the cumulative GPA if this is the second repetition of a substandard grade. Example: F D B 1st repetition 2nd repetition with a grade with a grade

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL APPEALS 2nd Sem. Probation Appeal: Priority Registration and BOGW Fee Waiver Requirements: Evidence of extenuating circumstances (e.g. illness, accident, injury) that affected the student’s usual level of academic performance. Meet with a counselor to fulfill the appeal requirements. The Director of Admissions and Records or designee shall notify the student if the appeal is granted, and priority registration and/or BOGW fee waiver is restored. Dismissal Appeal Requirements: Student must submit the appeal form to Admissions within 30 days after the dismissal notification was sent. The appeal form must clearly explain and provide evidence of what extenuating circumstances (e.g. Illness, accident, injury) existed. The Director of Admissions will review the appeal and notify the student of his/her final decision.

FACTORS THAT LEAD TO SUCCESS TIME MANAGEMENT: Keep a daily/weekly/monthly schedule to keep you on track. Set priorities for how to utilize your time. PRIORITIES SHOULD INCLUDE: Attendance – Attend all classes Homework – Complete all assignments and turn them in on time Academic Support – Tutoring, Study Groups, Counseling Sleep/Health – Get at least 8 hrs. of sleep, eat right, and take care of health needs

BALANCING WORK/FAMILY/FRIENDS College (12 units or more) is a full time job. If you are working full time consider taking fewer units, or work fewer hours so you can devote enough time to successfully passing your courses. Spend less money so you can work fewer hours. Arrange reliable childcare in advance and have a back up plan. Share your educational /career goals with family and friends to gain their support and understanding of your time demands.

NEEDS WANTS BUDGETING/SPENDING Prioritize your budget by spending your money on: “NEEDS” FIRST not “WANTS” NEEDS Food Shelter Health Needs Basic Transportation Books Childcare Basic Clothing WANTS Designer Clothes and Shoes Designer Accessories Frequent Eating Out Entertainment/Travel Manicures Cable TV Expensive Car/Rims

STAYING OFF PROBATION Strive for the highest grades possible with no less than a “C” in all classes. Take advantage of support services. Know the drop dates and officially withdraw from courses before the drop deadlines. Make sure to meet with a counselor at least once a semester.
