The PASS Program (Providing Academic Support to Students) serves students with academic holds (Academic Probation and Academic Suspension). Our PASS Advisors help students improve academically and develop skills to sustain success in college and in life. PASS Advisors also connect students on Academic Warning with needed resources to promote academic progress.
Academic Warning:
Academic Warning is given to students who have earned a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 for the first time.
Academic Probation:
Academic Probation is given to students who have been on Academic Warning in the past and have earned a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0. A hold has been placed on your student account to prohibit future enrollment until you have met with a PASS Advisor. To be in good standing students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
Academic Probation Process: (New - Effective 11/07/2023)
Students on Academic Probation must attend a PASS Workshop. The PASS workshop includes a presentation, sharing of resources, discussion on student success, and the opportunity to register for next semester courses. Be sure to arrive on time. You will need to reschedule if you are late. Click on one of the following links to schedule.
Tuesday December 10th 2024 @ 1pm
Tuesday January 7th 2025 @ 5pm
Thursday January 9th 2025 @ 1pm
The last workshop for Spring 2025 will be held on Tuesday January 28th 2025. Students wanting to enroll after this date will meet with a PASS Advisor to discuss resources and prepare for next semester enrollment.
If you received a 2.0 semester GPA on the last semester attended, you may not need to attend a PASS workshop. Please contact PASS Advising at UP-PASS@lonestar.edu to determine if you need to attend.
Academic Suspension:
Academic Suspension is given to students who have been placed on Academic Warning and Academic Probation in the past and have since earned a cumulative GPA lower than 2.0. To be in good standing students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
Academic Suspension Appeal Process: (New - Effective 11/07/2023)
*You have the right to appeal your academic suspension. If you choose to exercise this right, you must follow the appeal process specified by the campus at which majority of your courses have been completed. For more information on the appeal process email UP-PASS@lonestar.edu.
Students wishing to appeal a suspension must submit a Suspension Appeal Form. The LSC - University Park Suspension Appeal form will be open for Spring registration starting October 14th . The deadline for Spring appeals is Monday January 6th 2025. Students can expect to receive a decision notice to their mylonestar email and if approved, are required to attend a PASS workshop.
Students wishing to enroll after the appeal deadline will meet with a PASS Advisor to discuss the appeal deadline for the next semester.
If your home campus is not University Park, please review the Counseling Services information for your home campus: https://www.lonestar.edu/counseling-services.
