An “at-risk” student is a student whose academic performance indicates an increased likelihood of course failure or academic probation. A student may be identified as at risk at any point during a course when the overall course grade falls below 80% or when other documented academic concerns suggest the student may not successfully meet course requirements without additional support.
When a student is identified as at risk, the course director will notify the student via LMU email. The student’s faculty advisor may be copied on communication to promote awareness and support. The communication should outline the nature of the concern and provide guidance regarding strategies, supports, or course-specific recommendations to assist the student in improving academic performance.
