Student Academic Recovery Programs

UW students who encounter academic challenges in their first year have two options to help recover strong academic progress. Students who receive academic probation after Fall semester choose either a one-credit academic success class or one-on-one academic life coaching with a UW staff or faculty member in spring semester. Overseen by LeaRN and ACES, these programs help students work with caring and committed staff in regaining academic standing or exploring options for the spring and beyond.

Lending an Ear

I could tell my academic coach everything and she would listen, and then give me feedback.

Constant Support

I really valued the constant support and uplifting nature of the STEP 1105 class. It helped me be a better student!

Share in the Joy

I was always excited to tell my coach my accomplishments and she would be excited for me, and she helped me overall reach every goal and help me figure out my weaknesses and strong suits!

Accountability

The STEP 1105 course was awesome because it allowed me to  recognize what was in my control, take accountability of my actions, and come up with a game plan.

Safe Space

A safe space to share my struggles as a student! I couldn't have been happier with the coaching I received.

Chance to Grow

I valued our weekly meeting so much. It was incredibly beneficial to why I am struggling, and have someone credible and knowledgeable to help me though each and every hard point throughout this semester.

No Judgment

I really enjoy how non shameful the environment is, they're really just there to help you and will never judge you.

Background

Academic recovery supports students on academic probation. In 2024, LeaRN and ACES expanded the recovery program to include Academic Life Coaching. Students have a chance to choose their own recovery program.
