Student Success Program (2.0 – 2.3 GPA)

Undergraduate students who have a cumulative USC GPA of 2.0-2.3 are placed within the Student Success Program to assist them in achieving their academic, personal, and career goals. 

At least once per semester, these students will meet with an academic review counselor who will help them develop a plan for success based on their individual learning style. The constructive relationship between a student and their academic review counselor is meant to empower the student to discover intrinsic motivation to succeed at USC and beyond. 

Additional Information

The goal of the Student Success Program is also to help students avoid academic probation. Students who fall below the cumulative 2.0 GPA requirement will be placed on academic probation.

All students in the Student Success Program will have an RNR02 hold placed on their account. The hold will be applied after the third week of the semester (i.e., after the last day to drop/add for the semester) and will require students to meet with their academic review counselor early in the semester. Once students meet with their counselor, the hold will be removed and students will be permitted to register on their own. Failure to meet with their academic review counselor will result in students having delayed registration for the following semester.
