Policy:
Senate Resolution 12-02 CSUCI Policy on Academic Probation and Disqualification Academic Probation: an undergraduate student is subject to academic probation if at any time the cumulative grade point average (GP A) in all college work attempted or cumulative GP A at CSUCI falls below 2.0. Probationary students will be advised of their status by letter at the end of the semester. The letter will include conditions for removal from probation and the circumstances that would lead to disqualification. An undergraduate student shall be removed from academic probation when the cumulative GP A in all college work attempted and the cumulative GP A average at CSUCI is 2.0 or higher. Academic Disqualification: an undergraduate student on academic probation is subject to academic disqualification when: as a freshman the student falls below a GPA of 1.50 in all units attempted or in all units attempted at CSUCI; as a sophomore the student falls below a GP A of 1.70 in all units attempted or in all units attempted at CSUCI; as a junior the student falls below a GP A of 1.85 in all units attempted or in all units attempted at CSUCI; as a senior the student falls below a GP A of 1.95 in all units attempted or in all units attempted at CSUCI. A postbaccalaureate student will be subject to academic probation if, after attempting 12 or more graded units, his or her postbaccalaureate cumulative GP A for units attempted at CSUCI falls below a 2.50 average. The GP A will determine whether a student is subject to probation only when the student has attempted 12 semester units. A student enrolled in a graduate degree program in either conditionally classified or classified standing shall be subject to academic probation if he or she fails to maintain a cumulative GP A of at least 3.0 in all units attempted; no course in which the student receives lower than a C may be counted toward a Master’s degree. Administrative-Academic Probation: an undergraduate or graduate student may be placed on administrative-academic probation for any of the following reasons: . Withdrawal from more than half the units in which a student is enrolled in two successive semesters or in any three semesters. (Withdrawals direct! y associated with a medical condition are not included.) . Repeated failure to progress toward the stated degree objective. . Failure to comply, after due notice, with an academic requirement or regulation. Probationary students will be advised of their status by letter at the end of the semester. The letter will include conditions for removal from probation and the circumstances that would lead to disqualification. Administrative-Academic Disqualification: a student who has been placed on administrative-academic probation may be disqualified if: . The conditions for removal of academic-administrative probation are not met within the specified period. . The student becomes subject to academic probation while on administrative academic probation. . The student becomes subject to administrative-academic probation for the same or similar reason to a previous placement on academic-administrative probation, although not currently in such status. When such action is taken, the student will receive written notification including an explanation of the basis for the action and the process for appeal. Reinstatement In order to be considered for reinstatement to the University, a disqualified student must demonstrate academic ability. This can be achieved by completing classes at other academic institutions. All classes taken must be applicable for degree credit. After reducing the grade-point deficiency I the student may petition the Academic Appeals Board for reinstatement. The Academic Appeals Board will only consider the petition for reinstatement of students who have remained outside of the university for at least one regular (Fall or Spring) semester after their dismissal.
