LSC-University Park Student Connections – Early Alert & PASS
Student Connections offers support to assist students on their path to graduation, transfer, and the workforce. We connect students to campus and community resources, host workshops, offer peer support, and provide Early Alert and PASS (Providing Academic Support to Students) Services. Make the connection to Student Success.
The Early Alert System is a collaborative effort between faculty, staff and students to help students get back on track academically. Our goal is to promote academic success by connecting students to resources and to improve student motivation.
When a faculty or staff member refers a student for Early Alert, the student will be contacted by their assigned advisor or a Retention Specialist. The advisor or specialist will connect with the student via a phone call and/or email, discuss issues going on, share resources available to the student, and create an individually designed action plan to promote continued persistence.
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:
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.
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:
*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.
