changes.

I will establish and check my Guilford email account by the first day of classes.
4.
I will meet with my SSM at least ½ hour each week (or more as determined by my SSM) to discuss my progress. I understand that I must
give at least 24 hours notice if I need to reschedule an appointment and that missing and/or being late to a meeting is a violation of this

failure to obtain a term G.P.A. of 2.0 while on academic probation will result in academic suspension or dismissal.

determined by my SSM) until I get off of academic probation.
13. I will adhere to all of the college’s academic honor code and judicial policies.

these meetings are the same as those for classes.
