Academic Probation
If academic performance falls below expected achievement (examples are listed above), a
student will be placed on Academic Probation. If placed on probation, the student is:
1. Ineligible to represent ASP/TIUA in any public performance.
2. Ineligible to hold any student leadership position.
3. Subject to eventual dismissal if the academic record continues to be below
the established criteria.
4. Ineligible to receive a Certificate of Participation at the end of the program if
placed on probation for two semesters and does not meet established academic
criteria by the end of the second semester of probation.
Any student placed on academic probation should consult his/her Academic Advisor and
the Director of Campus Life and Academic Services immediately in order to review participation
in curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities.
Transcripts
At the end of the program, one official transcript is sent to the student and a copy of the
official transcript is sent to TIU. The cost for additional transcripts is $5.00 for the first one
and $2.00 for more copies if requested at the same time.
Academic Advising
Every student is assigned to an Academic Advisor for the year (February-December). The
student meets regularly with the Advisor to check on academic progress and to discuss
how the student can take full advantage of the TIUA/Willamette educational experience.
The Academic Advisor consults as needed with the Director of Academic Programs, the Associate
Director of Residence Life and Wellness Services, the Director of Campus Life and
Academic Services, and the Executive Vice President.
