The SOAR program, piloted in summer 2014, allowed students who had been academically dismissed an opportunity to stay enrolled. Fifty-two students, including 20 freshmen, participated. SOAR participants had to successfully complete Counselor Education 205 (a one-hour course on success strategies) and at least six additional hours of coursework during one or both summer sessions. Participants met weekly with an academic coach and dedicated at least 10 hours a week to structured study, tutoring, or use of other campus resources. Forty-six students, including all 20 freshmen, met requirements to return for fall term.
