Text
Academic Disqualification: An undergraduate student on academic probation during the current semester or any preceding semester at CSUCI will be academically disqualified when the student’s GPA in all units attempted or in all units attempted at CSUCI falls below the following: as a freshman, 1.50; as a sophomore, 1.70; as a junior,1.85; as a senior, 1.95.
A student seeking a second baccalaureate will be academically disqualified when the student’s GPA after twelve attempted units at CSUCI falls below 2.0.
A conditionally classified or classified graduate student will be academically disqualified when the student’s GPA in all units attempted for the current program falls below 2.5. The student’s GPA in a previous graduate program will not count toward the student’s GPA in the current program, regardless of whether that previous graduate program was at CSUCI or elsewhere. The student’s GPA in prerequisite courses taken post-baccalaureate and as a condition of the student’s admission into the program will count toward the GPA in all units attempted for the current program.
All students’ records will be evaluated for disqualification at the end of each semester. Students cannot be placed on probation for the first time at CSUCI and be disqualified in the same semester. However, students who have previously been on probation at CSUCI and fall below the GPA listed above will be academically disqualified, even if the probation and disqualification semesters are non-consecutive. A student may appeal disqualification no later than the Academic Appeals Board deadline before the start of the semester following the disqualification. Appeals should be made to the Office of the Provost or Designee. Appeals will be decided by the Academic Appeals Board. Typical grounds for a successful appeal include significant improvement towards meeting the GPA requirements and/or extraordinary circumstances beyond the student’s control, as determined by the Academic Appeals Board. A successful petition of appeal for disqualification will result in the student remaining on academic probation. Students who appeal unsuccessfully will need to apply for reinstatement as specified in the Policy on Reinstatement if they wish to continue at CSUCI.
