Academic Warning Concerns

Category: Student FAQs

Should I be concerned if I get an academic warning?

Professors give academic warnings for any number of reasons. Some of the more common reasons given include poor test or quiz scores, frequent absences, inadequate preparation or study skills, and missing or late assignments. These warnings do not mean that a student is going to fail the class, but they do mean that a student is in danger of failing if there is no academic improvement. Make sure to visit the professor. If significant problems exist with understanding the course material or test taking, consider seeking out a departmental tutor or other resources. Advisors can also identify the appropriate resources.
