Probation and Disqualification is to be taken seriously.  If you find yourself in either of these situations, please contact the Counseling Center to make an appointment with a counselor to discuss your academic progress.  The following is an explanation of what Probation and Disqualification means, and how to get reinstated should you find yourself disqualified.

Probation

1. Academic Probation: Any student who has attempted a minimum of 12 semester units at Cuyamaca College and whose cumulative college grade point average falls below a 2.0 in courses receiving letter grades shall be placed on academic probation.

2. Lack-of-Progress Probation: Any student who has enrolled in a total of at least 12 semester units (beginning with the Fall 1981 semester) at Cuyamaca College shall be placed on lack-of-progress probation when the student’s cumulative units indicate 50 percent or more units of “W,” “I” and/or “NC.”

3. Removal from Probation:

a. Any student placed on academic probation shall be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA at Cuyamaca College has improved to 2.0.
b. Any student placed on lack-of-progress probation shall be removed from probation when the cumulative units of “W,” “I” or “NC” recorded at Cuyamaca College are less than 50 percent of the total units attempted.

Grades earned at other schools prior to admission to Cuyamaca College shall not be considered in determining probationary status.

Disqualification
Any student disqualified from a college within the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District may not attend any college within the District during the next consecutive semester. The student may, however, attend summer intersession.

1. Academic Disqualification: Any student on academic probation whose semester GPA falls below 2.0 shall be academically disqualified. Any student on academic probation whose semester GPA equals or exceeds 2.0, but whose cumulative GPA for all units attempted remains below 2.0, shall be continued on probation.

2. Lack-of-Progress Disqualification: Any student who is on lack-of-progress probation and whose semester work indicates 50 percent or more units of “W,” “I” or “NC” will be disqualified. Any student on lack-of-progress probation whose semester work indicates fewer than 50 percent units of “W,” “I” or “NC,” but whose cumulative records show 50 percent or more units of “W,” “I” or “NC,” will be continued on lack-of-progress probation.

Reinstatement
Any student believing to be unjustifiably disqualified may file a petition with the Admissions and Records Office requesting that such disqualification be reconsidered.
Students are encouraged to see a counselor for assistance with petitions. To facilitate the official adding of courses prior to the published add deadline, a petition for reinstatement should be submitted no later than ten working days prior to the published add deadline.
Any veteran who petitions for readmission to the college following disqualification must meet with a counselor and have the counselor make a recommendation on the petition
prior to being considered for readmission.
