Recovery Journey's

The Academic Recovery Journey is a strengths-based plan designed to support students' success by building on their existing abilities, motivation, and growth potential. This structured approach highlights clear milestones and intentional actions that reinforce strong organizational habits, self-advocacy, and academic persistence. Through regular contact with the students' recovery advisor, active engagement with instructors and academic support services, thoughtful management of financial aid eligibility, and timely resolution of any registration-related holds, students will position themselves to stay focused and confident academically. 

By following this journey, challenges are viewed as opportunities for skill-building, accountability, and long-term academic success.
