Standards for Probation

Academic Probation

A student who has attempted at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on academic probation if the student has earned a grade-point average of below 2.0 (C) in all units that were graded on the basis of the grading scale.

A student who has two (2) consecutive terms with an earned grade-point average of below 2.0 (C) and are placed on Academic Probation Level Two (2) may have a hold placed on their registration. The student will need to attend an Academic Success Workshop in its entirety to have the registration hold released; however, the student will remain on Academic Probation Level Two (2) until the requirement is met for removal of probation.

Progress Probation

A student who has enrolled in a total of at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on progress probation when the percentage of all units in which a student has enrolled and for which entries of “W,” “I,” “NC” and “NP” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). While on probation, the college will make every reasonable effort to provide counseling and other support services to a student on probation to help the student overcome any academic difficulties. This assistance may include the regulation of the student’s study load in accordance with the demonstrated aptitudes and achievements.

A student who has two (2) consecutive terms when the percentage of all units in which a student has enrolled and for which entries of “W,” “I,” “NC” and “NP” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%) and are placed on Progress Probation Level Two (2) may have a hold placed on their registration. The student will need to attend an Academic Success Workshop in its entirety to have the registration hold released; however, the student will remain on Progress Probation Level Two (2) until the requirement is met for removal of probation.

Students receiving financial assistance are also subject to additional satisfactory academic progress requirements.

Removal from Probation

A student on academic probation for a grade point deficiency shall be removed from probation when the student’s cumulative grade-point average is 1.75 or higher.

A student on progress probation because of an excess of units where entries of “W,” “I,” “NC” and “NP” are recorded shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units in this category drops below fifty percent (50%).
