To support the work of Program Coordinators and Academic Advisors, Student Advisors, from the Student Advisement Team in Student Affairs are also a resource to students with an Academic Probation standing. Student Advisors conduct developmental advising sessions with students: in person, by phone and by email.
Developmental advising sessions for Academic Probation students include (however, are not limited to):
- a clarification of the Academic Probation standing, probation requirements and possible implications
- a discussion about available options (i.e. program change)
- referrals to appropriate on-campus supports and services
- an individualized action plan, with a strategy for student success
These conversations with students are designed to listen to the student’s situation, answer their questions and discuss possible supports and strategies.
Students with a May Not Continue standing may also benefit from a developmental advising session. Student Advisors listen to the student’s situation, discuss possible options and outline next steps in a tailored action plan. As a starting point, students with a May Not Continue standing may be referred to the following virtual URL: manageyouracademics.sheridancollege.ca.
Student Advisement is open Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm. We are located in the Student Service Centre, Room B230 at Davis, Room B104 at Trafalgar, and at the Welcome Desk at HMC. After hours, students and staff are welcome to e-mail questions to askanadvisor@sheridancollege.ca
