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
