Building Your Plan for Academic Success

Welcome to the orientation for the Academic Improvement Plan (AIP) Program.

You may be wondering what is an AIP and why do I have to do one. This is what you will find out during this orientation.

Let’s get started.

The Academic Improvement Plan is a program designed to assist students who have been readmitted to Southeast Missouri State University with achieving academic success upon their readmission.

The requirements of the AIP will be agreed upon between the student and their assigned staff member.

The requirements could include but are not limited to: ◦ Meeting with an assigned staff member◦ Completing a learning style inventory ◦ Completing a set number of meetings◦ Completing College Success Seminars ◦ Completing any referrals made by the assigned staff member.

All requirements must be completed before 8 week grades.

If the AIP requirements are not completed by 8 week grades, there is a registration hold placed on the students account by the Registrar’s Office which will not be lifted until after Final grades have been submitted and the student has earned above a 2.0 grade point average for the semester.

The First Step toward completing your AIP is to attend this Orientation. You are already half way done!

The next step is to complete the AIP Intake Form.

Once your Intake Form has been reviewed the Retention Specialist will contact you.

This concludes the Orientation for the AIP Program.

You will be contacted by the Retention Specialist, Emily Oliveira, regarding the requirements of your AIP.
