What is the difference between normal progress probation & academic probation?

A student who fails to make normal progress toward their degree will be placed on normal progress probation or may find themselves subject to disqualification. Several conditions will result in normal progress probation including:

  • Failure to complete UC Entry Level Writing before beginning of 4th quarter.
  • Failure to complete Lower Division writing by beginning of 7th quarter.
  • Failure to complete 12 units in any given quarter.
  • Failure to declare a major as an unaffiliated student by 90 units.
  • Failure to make progress toward the declared Engineering major.

A student who fails to meet the minimum gpa standard will be placed on academic Probation (AP). Students whose GPA falls below 2.0 quarterly, in Engineering courses, in upper-division Engineering courses, or cumulatively, will be placed on Academic Probation and are required to fulfill a probation contract. This contract is in effect for one quarter. Students who fail to meet the provisions of a probation contract are then subject to disqualification.
