OBLIGATORY COUNSELING WITH COLLEGE UNDERACHIEVERS

Abstract

It is the practice in most colleges and universities, when a student achieves grades below some given level for one or more semesters, that regardless of his potential, he is rendered ineligible to continue in the institution. Their acquired ineligibility may not prevent them from continuing with college level work, though it may prevent them from matriculating for a degree. Large university evening colleges and extension divisions often permit students to enroll for classes, but on a non-matriculated status. These divisions of indeterminate registration have become the hope of students who have become ineligible, to demonstrate that they are capable of adequate college achievement, by which they might be restored to degree candidacy.
