Bobcat Breakthroughs is an academic support program for students who have (1) been academically dismissed from OHIO and readmitted, (2) have been on academic probation for more than one semester, or 3) were placed on academic probation at the end of the most recent academic term and have an accumulative GPA between 0.0 and 1.0.
Participation is either recommended or required, as determined by the student’s college. A student’s Success Advisor or Assistant Dean of their College will notify the student as to whether their participation in Bobcat Breakthroughs is recommended or required.
Students enrolled in Bobcat Breakthroughs are required to attend weekly meetings with an Academic Coach at no cost. Meetings follow a set curriculum addressing time management, organization, communication with faculty, and other academic difficulties. During these meetings with an Academic Coach, students can also be connected with additional support resources such as tutoring or writing assistance. Students can also receive support in any academic area that they wish to address, such as test anxiety, study skills, or accessing academic resources.

How Does Bobcat Breakthroughs Work?
Students who are required or recommended to participate in Bobcat Breakthroughs must sign their college reinstatement contracts.

The Director of Student Academic Solutions provides weekly reports of student meetings to the student’s Assistant Dean and/or Success Advisor. At the end of the semester, depending on academic performance, students are removed from academic probation, continued on academic probation, or academically dismissed.
