What is Academic Probation?

Academic

Probation is a result of a

student’s

cumulative or

CI

GPA falling below a

2.0

If you have taken classes outside of CI, you have two GPAs: your CI GPA and your overall cumulative GPA. If any of the 2 are below a 2.0, you are placed on academic probationSlide4
Academic Probation Policy

Students on academic probation are required to have mandatory advising.An “Advising Hold” is placed on your account, which prohibits you from adding or dropping classes.

Once

you have met the mandatory advising process, your advising hold will be removed

.

Students on probation are limited to 13 units

Refer to Probation & 13 unit limit FAQsSlide5
Other Academic Policies

Add/Drop PolicyOnly 3 weeks to add or drop classesWithdrawals

Students can only withdraw from classes weeks 4 through 12 for

“serious and compelling reasons.”

Note that failing is not a “serious and compelling reason” to withdrawalSlide6
What happens if I don’t get off academic probation?

Students will

be academically

disqualified, if their CI and/or CUM GPA falls

below the

following:

(after having been on academic probation previously)

As a freshman (29 units or less) - 1.50

As a sophomore (30 – 59 units) - 1.70

As a junior (60 – 89 units) - 1.85

As a senior (90 + units - 1.95.

Students’ records will be evaluated for disqualification at the end of each semester.

You cannot be placed on probation for the first time

and

be disqualified

the

same semester.

Students

who have previously been on probation at CI

& fall

below the

aforementioned GPA will

be academically disqualified, even if the probation and disqualification semesters are non-consecutive.Slide7
How do I get off probation?

Once your cumulative and/or CI GPA are at a minimum 2.0 GPA, you will be off academic probation.You must do well enough this upcoming semester to balance against your current GPA. Slide8
Calculating a GPA

All attempted units in which you received an A, B, C, D, F, IC, WU, etc.

are factored into

your

GPA.

If

you took any courses for CR/NC

(i.e. Math 94, Math 95 or Math 399) or

received an I, these are not factored into

your GPA or attempted units.

Slide9
Calculating a GPA

Letter

grades are assigned

grade

points.

To

calculate your

GPA, take your

total grade points and divide

by your

total

units attempted.

Example

:

PSY

213 3 units C- 5.1 grade points

HIST 270 3 units B- 8.1 grade points

SOC 100 3 units D 3 grade points

PSY 317 3 units C+ 6.9 grade points

Total attempted units 12 Total grade points 23.1

23.1 grade points divided by

12

attempted units =

1.92

Your CI TranscriptSlide12
Your CI Transcript

You will need to identify your total attempted units & current CI GPA

Your

total attempted units are on the term totals/cum totals column; make note of the

red arrow.

T

o

Identify your class

level at the end of the term, refer to the middle column, blue arrow: these are your completed units – add them to the units you are attempting this term to determine your total units

at the end of this term.Slide13
Probationary Semester Action Plan

You will be filling out the Probationary Semester Action Plan as you review the rest of this PowerPoint.

Start by noting your probation box status

Check off the factors that affected your academic work last term

Identify your attempted units and GPA on transcript

Check off your class level after you complete this next semesterSlide14
How to find your attempted units and GPA

The following 4 slides explain how to find the aforementioned – separated by 3 groups of students (refer to the one that applies to you)

Group 1 – you have only attended CI

Group 2 – you have attended another school (ex. community college or university), but this was your first semester at CI, and your CI GPA is deficient

Group 3 – you have attended another school and multiple semesters at CI, and your CI GPA is deficientSlide15
Group 1: If you have only attended CI

Your attempted units are located under the CUM TOTALS (ex. 21)

If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95), deduct it from your attempted units total

Your CI/CUM GPA will be noted next to CUM GPASlide16
Group 2: If this was your 1

st semester

Your attempted units are located under the TERM TOTALS (ex. 13)

If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95), deduct it from your attempted units total

Your CI GPA will be noted next to TERM GPASlide17
Group 3: If you’ve attended another school & multiple semesters at CI

You will need to add the attempted units located under the TERM TOTALS for every semester you’ve attended CI (ex. 16 + 12 = 28)

If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95), deduct it from your attempted units total

Find your CI GPA in your CARR (

Academic Requirements)Slide18
Find CI GPA in CARR

The CARR can be found in the Academic Requirements or Academic Advisement Report link in your Student Center. Slide19
To figure out what is needed to get off probation . . .

Go to

Academic Advising

website

Then

Current Students

GPA Calculator

Enter “Desired GPA”:

2.0

Enter your “Current GPA”

Enter your “Attempted Units (To Date)”:

Enter your “Total Units (This Semester”) {what you’ll take this term excluding CR/NC classes} Slide20
To figure out what is needed to get off probation . . .

Once you enter Desired GPA, Current GPA, Attempted Units & Total Units, you will get the Average GPA needed to get off probation for this semester.

Enter this GPA (ex. 2.35) on your Probationary Semester Action under the “Semester GPA needed to get off probation”

At the bottom, it will show you the average grade you need to receive (ex. C+ to B- average)Slide21
To figure out what is needed to get off probation . . .

If you will be repeating a class . . .

Choose the “Units” the class is worth

Choose the “Grade” of the class you are repeating

Then press calculate.

*Repeating classes improves GPA fasterSlide22
What if I don’t think I can attain the semester GPA goal to get off probation?

Under “Desired GPA,” change the GPA to the minimum GPA needed to avoid academic disqualification for your class level (refer to slide 6)

Enter this GPA (ex. 2.91) on your Probationary Semester Action Plan under the “Semester GPA needed to avoid academic disqualification”

If you still do not think you can attain this GPA, repeat a class for this semester. Slide23
Repeating a Class

Quickest way

to

raise GPA (especially for F

, IC or

WU grades).

May

repeat up to a total of

12

units

at CI

for

grade forgiveness

.

2

nd

attempt (grade) will replace 1

st

attempt.

Beyond 12 units, 12 additional units will

be

grade averaged

into the

GPA for a total of 24 units that can be repeated.

This policy may only be used on grades of “WU”, “F”, “D-“, “D”, “D+”, “C-“

or “IC

”.

This policy may not be used on grade of “C” or

higher,

“I

” or failing grade as a result of academic dishonesty.

Individual classes can only be repeated once

Classes have to be repeated at CI for grade forgivenessSlide24
Conditions for Repeating Classes

Required class in your major, and major requires “C” or better

You know you could be successful in the class, if you spend enough time studying or go to tutoring

You’re likely to get academically disqualified if you do not repeat a class

You do not have to repeat the class with the same professor, (unless he/she is the only one who teaches the class)Slide25
When not to repeat a class

You have changed your major

You will spend 50% of your time on this class – just to get a “C,” and would only have 50% of time left between your other classes

You are positive that you cannot pass said class even with extra tutoring

You have already repeated the class onceSlide26
What else is affected by being on Academic Probation at

CI?

Financial

Aid

Check out the

Financial Aid FAQs

website for information about meeting “Satisfactory Academic Progress” (SAP)

Scholarships

Usually have minimum GPA requirements to attain and maintain

Campus clubs

To be a club officer, you must have a 2.5 GPA

Transferring

to another 4-year

institution

Cannot be admitted to another school if you are not in good standing

Mental Health – it can be stressful to be on probationSlide27
A few things to consider at the beginning of each semester

Course

load

Choose a manageable load, considering your other responsibilities: work, family, etc.

13 units limitation

Students on academic probation cannot be enrolled in more than 13 units. Refer to

Records’ FAQs

.

Limit social time

Reduce work hours, if possible

Talk with your

professors

Use office hoursSlide28
What happens if your GPA does not improve?

Depending

on your class

standing,

you may be subject to

academic disqualification

.

This

means

you will be dropped from classes and will not be a continuing student.

If you want to return to CI, you can

take courses

through the

Open University

program at CI

to bring up your

GPA.

Please note: open University students are not eligible for financial aid or to live in campus housing.

If

you are not disqualified and

your

GPA remains below a

2.0,

you will still be on

academic probation
