DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS
Academic Year Provisional program (AYP)
Provisional Admission:
High school graduates who do not qualify for regular admission and desire to enroll as full-time, degree-seeking students at ASU during the academic year may qualify for provisional admission through the following special programs:
Academic Year:
High school graduates who have completed a college preparatory curriculum and who have a 50% or greater probability of earning a 1.35 GPA during their freshman year at ASU may be admitted on a provisional basis. Applicants who have not satisfactorily completed at least four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of social science, and three years of natural science in grades 9-12 must have a 50% or greater probability of earning a 1.60 GPA during their freshman year at ASU.
Students admitted provisionally under this program must register for courses only at ASU while on provisional admission status and must complete 12 semester credit hours of prescribed course work at ASU during both the fall semester and spring semester. Students admitted provisionally must earn a GPA on all college level course work attempted at ASU during each semester which is at least equal to that required of regularly admitted students to maintain enrollment in the University as specified in the University Bulletin. Transfer credits will not be considered in connection with the admission or subsequent status of a provisionally admitted student.
Early Alert Program
The Early Alert program is designed to identify students who are not attending class or who demonstrate at-risk behaviors. At-risk behaviors include, but are not limited to, excessive or frequent absences, low grades or incomplete assignments, and an expressed desire to withdraw from school. Students can be referred by any ASU employee.
Completing a referral is easy and takes little time, and the referrals can be made in any of the following ways:
- Electronic form – found under the “Work Life” tab in RamPort or the Early Alert pdf
- Telephone – (325) 942-2399
- In person – Transitional Services Office, Library 3rd Floor, A308
Once a referral is made, the Transitional Services office will make several attempts to contact the student in order to set up an academic assistance program and make necessary referrals. The Early Alert program is another positive step toward helping retain students at ASU and promote their future success.
