Academic Action Plan Procedures
The following steps MUST be completed BEFORE you see your advisor to develop your Academic Action Plan. In order to keep your deppartment apprised of your efforts to take ownership of your academic success, please submit a copy of your action plan to your advising center [see locations here: cafes.calpoly.edu/advising].
NOTE: Steps 1-4 are NOT the academic action plan, but rather a means for you to reflect on your situation, and to inform your faculty advisor of your circumstances.
A written statement will be required for items 1-4.
1. Explain the circumstances that led to your low GPA.
2. Describe your specific plans to improve/correct your situation, i.e. what you will do differently next quarter and in the future to improve your situation.
3. List all current courses you are taking, with anticipated grades. (If you are now repeating courses, or are planning to do so, also list your previous courses with D, F, I and U grades.)
4. Include any other information you feel is pertinent to your case.
Please prepare ALL of the above information BEFORE meeting with your advisor. Incomplete statements will only delay the completion of your Academic Action Plan.
5. Meet with your academic or faculty advisor to develop an Academic Action Plan. As part of this Plan, you will develop goals for improving your cumulative GPA by the end of this quarter, as well of other strategic activities you can be doing to support your success. Click on the following link to review the components of a solid action plan: COMPONENTS OF AN ACTION PLAN (You should expect this as a result of developing a plan with your advisor.). Your advisor will keep a copy of this Plan for your file.
6. You are responsible to be sure a signed copy of your action plan is submitted to your advising center.
