The six-year college graduation rate in America in 2021 was 63% (National Center for Education Statistics, 2021). While this rate is on a positive trajectory, it allows room for improvement, especially considering the differences in college graduation rates across various ethnic and gender groups. In the state of the study, the current six-year college graduation rate is 48.5%, and at Central University, a pseudonym, it is 41.4%. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions moved classes and university services online, including interventions for students at risk of academic failure. Little qualitative research exists examining the impact of this shift to online services for students on Academic Probation. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of the Peer Coaching Program for first-time Academic Probation students at Central University from Fall 2018 through Spring 2022 (N = 2,251), emphasizing the effects of providing Peer Coaching virtually. Students in this program met with a trained Peer Coach at least twice per semester to improve their academic performance. There was a significant increase in semester GPA for students who completed the program (M = 0.56, SD = 1.14) compared to non-completers (M = 0.28, SD = 1.27). Peer Coaching Program completion rates were similar for virtual and in-person modality semesters. However, they decreased significantly during the three semesters of the study, where students chose between virtual and in-person sessions. When given the option between virtual and in-person meetings, students were more likely to complete their sessions virtually, X[superscript 2] (1, N = 48) = 27.00, p < .001; X[superscript 2] (1, N = 107) = 58.33, p < 0.001. Program completers were more likely to be female (48.5%, n = 1,167), though there were no statistical differences between numbers of female and male (51.1%, n = 1,097) students on first-time Academic Probation, X[superscript 2] (3, N = 2,251) = 2.16, p < 0.001. Students on first-time Academic Probation were predominantly White or Caucasian (51.6%, n = 1,168) and Black or African American (30.7%, n = 696), and minority students were overrepresented in the sample (48.4%, n = 1,096) as compared to the university population. There were also more first-year students and sophomores on first-time Academic Probation than expected by chance, X[superscript 2] (3, N = 2,251) = 286.12, p < 0.001. Implications of this study and directions for future research are explored. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
