Developing Scholars

A student admitted to Texas Lutheran University is assumed to have the ability, the preparation, and the motivation to make satisfactory progress toward a degree. Some students, however, do not make the progress expected of them.  Students not achieving the minimum standards or progress are placed on academic probation.  The Developing Scholars program was established to support students on academic probation, to work with students in their effort to return to good academic standing, and to aid students in the development of positive academic skills.

The Developing Scholars program is a voluntary program.  Students placed on academic probation are informed of the program and have the choice to participate or not.  If students choose to participate, they sign a contract which states program expectations including bi-weekly meetings during the semester with a TLU Academic Support staff member in regards to any issues that might affect academic performance.  The staff member will support and assist them in learning better study strategies, time management skills and use of TLU resources, as well as in making the transition from struggling student to independent, stronger student.
