ACADEMic Probation

What is Academic Probation?

When the students cumulative or CSUN grade point average drops below 2.0 they will be placed on Probation. The student will stay on Probation as long as their grade point average is below 2.0 or until they are Disqualified. Probation serves as an academic warning that the student has a serious problem beginning to develop in their studies. Any number of reasons may account for their lack of success.

While on Probation the student will be required to seek academic advisement each semester until they are off Probation. This is to ensure that the student is making good choices about the coursework they intend to take and also to ensure that the student is working with an academic adviser to try to solve the problems, which have developed causing their grades to place them on probation. Also, as long as the student is on probation they will be allowed to take no more than 12 units per semester.

Administrative Academic Probation

A student may be placed on administrative academic probation for withdrawal from a substantial portion of a program in two successive terms, for repeated failure to progress toward a degree, or for failure to comply with an academic requirement or regulation, which is routine for all students or for a defined group of students.
