Disqualification and Reinstatement

Students who have been academically disqualified, away from 91°µÍø for 2 or more semesters, or are enrolled or planning to enroll into Open University classes can attend a drop-in appointment for assistance.

Drop-in advising sessions are for quick 10-15 minute questions. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Topics may include:

  • Open University Courses
  • Reinstatement and/or Readmisson to 91°µÍø
  • 91°µÍø Policies and Procedure

If we determine your situation requires more in-depth support, an advisor will reach out to you to schedule a 30-minute appointment.

What is Academic Disqualification?

Undergraduate students on academic notice are subject to if their 91°µÍø GPA for the Fall or Spring semester is below 2.0.

First-year students who have not raised their 91°µÍø GPA to 2.0 or higher will remain on academic notice and will not be disqualified until they have either completed 30 units at 91°µÍø or finished three semesters, whichever happens first.

Reinstatement 

Reinstatement is the process for requesting the removal of academic disqualification status. Approval of reinstatement allows a student to enroll in classes again but does not guarantee readmission to 91°µÍø.

  • The reinstatement process is managed by the Registrar’s Office and requires a formal Reinstatement Petition.
  • Students should review the eligibility categories, required documentation, and signature process listed on the Registrar’s website.
  • You may request reinstatement even if you do not plan to return to 91°µÍø, for example, to transfer to another institution.

For more guidance on what to do while disqualified (including taking classes through Open University or community college), see:

Readmission

is a different process from . Readmission is the process of being formally accepted back into 91°µÍø as a matriculated student.

If you are a former student who left 91°µÍø more than two semesters ago in either Good Academic Standing or on Academic Notice (formerly called Academic Probation), navigate to the Former Students Returning page on the Admissions website.
