Academic Probation
and Disqualification
The quality
of academic performance is considered in the determination of a
student's eligibility to remain enrolled. An undergraduate student
becomes subject to academic probation or disqualification under
the conditions shown below. For minimum scholarship standards applicable
to graduate and postbaccalaureate students see the Graduate Programs
Office.
Academic
Probation
An
undergraduate student is automatically placed on academic probation
when the grade point average drops below 2.0 (C). The grade point
average applies to the current term, the Cal Poly cumulative, or
the higher education cumulative. All of these GPAs are available
for viewing at http:www.mustanginfo.calpoly.edu. A student grade
report will be mailed to only those students on academic probation.
Academic
Disqualification
A. An undergraduate student on academic probation
for two consecutive terms is subject to academic disqualification.
B. An undergraduate
student on academic probation is subject to disqualification when:
1. As a freshman or sophomore student (less than
90 quarter units of college credit completed) the student is 22.5
or more quality points below a 2.00 (C) in all units attempted (higher
education GPA) or in all units attempted at Cal Poly (Cal Poly cumulative
GPA).
2. As a junior student (90 to 134 quarter units of college
credit completed) the student is 13.5 or more quality points below
a 2.00 (C) in all units attempted (higher education GPA) or in all
units attempted at Cal Poly (Cal Poly cumulative GPA).
3. As a senior student (135 or more quarter units of college
credit completed) the student is 9 or more quality points below
a 2.00 (C) in all units attempted (higher education GPA) or in all
units attempted at Cal Poly (Cal Poly cumulative GPA).
C. In addition
to the above disqualification standards applicable to students on
probation, the President may designate a campus official to act to
disqualify an individual not on probation when the following circumstances
exist:
1. At the end of any term, the student has fewer
cumulative grade points than cumulative units attempted, and
2. The cumulative grade point deficiency is so great that in
view of the student's overall educational records, it seems unlikely
that the deficiency will be removed within a reasonable period.
A student who
is placed on probation or who is subject to disqualification at
the end of an enrollment period will be notified by a message on
the grade report for that term. It is the student's responsibility
to keep his/her address updated at www.my.calpoly.edu.
In cases where a student ordinarily would be disqualified at the
end of a term save for the impossibility of making timely notification,
the student may be advised by the student's school dean that the
disqualification is to be effective at the end of the next term.
To be readmitted
after academic disqualification, contact your college dean.
Administrative-Academic
Probation or Disqualification
An undergraduate or graduate student may be placed on administrative-academic
probation by action of the dean of the school in which the student
is enrolled for any of the following reasons:
A. Withdrawal from all or a substantial portion of a program
of studies in two successive terms or in any three terms.
B. Repeated
failure to progress toward the stated degree or program objective
when such failure appears to be due to circumstances within the
control of the student.
C. Failure
to comply, after due notice, with an academic requirement or regulation
which is routine for all students or a defined group of students.
When such action
is taken, written notice will be provided including a statement
of the conditions for removal from probation and the circumstances
which would lead to disqualification, should probation not be removed.
If disqualified, the student will receive written notification from
the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled including
an explanation of the basis for the action.
