Staying on Course (SOC) is a mandatory support program for all students on academic probation, as well as students who are readmitted from suspension.

The overall goal of the Staying On Course Program is to retain and return these students to good academic standing. The program is designed to promote effective academic practices and behaviors. Students are either enrolled in the three credit course, Learning Strategies for Academic Success, or the weekly one-hour Staying On Course class for students who have already completed Learning Strategies with a “C” or better. The students are identified each semester by the Registrar through the BANNER System.

The general assembly meeting for AP and RS students is held during orientation week each semester. At the meeting, packets of information are distributed to the students. This information includes the procedures regarding academic probation, an academic calendar, SOC schedule of activities, important campus support programs and numbers, SOC program goals and objectives, and a “Staying On Course Contract.”
