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:  1) bi-weekly meetings; 2) attendance at two academic support workshops of choice; and 3) consistent contact with a TLU staff member in regards to any issues that might affect academic performance.  Students are assigned to a full-time staff member who will support and assist students in their academic development and expected return to good academic standing.
