Academic and Progress Notice

A student is placed on Academic Notice after attempting at least 12 units with a cumulative GPA below 2.0, or on Progress Notice once at least 50% of attempted units carry W, I, NC, NP, and/or NPV.

After three consecutive semesters of Notice, a student is placed on Pause for at least one semester, appealable through the Counseling Department. Restart after a Pause requires a Counseling Department request and a counseling-intervention contract.
