The results show that home and school largely contribute to diverse struggles of academic probation students which includes financial, emotional and personal concerns. The school support system, Cura Personalis Program and SDC academic counseling significantly helps academic probation students cope with academic demands. The creation of social support/small learning communities of both formation and academic cluster is highly recommended.
