  1. Academic and non-academic resources available to them 
  2. Academic Progress Review Committee (APRC) recommendations 
  3. Qualitative and quantitative standards of the SVM (e.g., allotted time for credit completion, definition of satisfactory grades, cumulative WMPG standards)  
  4. Eligibility requirements and information on Monitored Academic Status 
  5. Academic Appeal Process
