Abstract

The effectiveness of an intrusive advising program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences - General Curriculum Center at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign was investigated to determine whether students who chose to participate in such a program had higher grade point averages and cleared academic probation at higher rates than did students who chose not to participate. An independent-samples t test was used to assess the relationship between participation in an intrusive advising program and grade point averages. In addition, this statistical analysis was used to assess the relationship between participation in the program and clearance rates from academic probation. The results of the independent-samples t test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the grade point averages of students who participated in an intrusive advising program and those who did not. Also, the results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the rates of clearance from academic probation for students who participated in an intrusive advising program and those who did not.
