Academic Progress Report (APR)

The APR is a very important tool that will give you an indication of your academic status in your courses. It is state mandated that EOPS/CARE utilize this process as a means of measuring success. This requirement will also help your counselors and instructors monitor your academic progress, coordinate interventions, and make appropriate referrals (i.e.: tutoring) if necessary. Submission of a passing APR (C grade or higher in all courses) will count for credit as a 2nd counseling contact. Only non-passing APR submissions will require a 2nd Counseling appointment.
