Back On Track

A student's Academic Status is determined after grades are processed at the end of each term and according to Academic Senate Regulation 515.B.

A student will be in one of three academic status categories for the term:

• Good Standing
  The student's term and cumulative grade point average (GPA) are 2.0 or higher.

• Academic Probation
  The student's term GPA is at least 1.5 but less than 2.0 or the cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 and the student is not Subject to Disqualification.

• Subject to Disqualification
  The student's term GPA is less than 1.5 or the student completed two successive terms on Academic Probation and the cumulative GPA is below 2.0.

If your academic status for the term is either Academic Probation or Subject to Disqualification:

• Check your UC San Diego email account for a message from your college's Academic Advising Office. The email will indicate that an academic notice has been posted to the VAC.
• Go to the VAC to review and follow the terms of your academic notice.
• Contact your college's Academic Advising Office if you have not received an email or an academic notice has not been posted in the VAC within three weeks after grades are final.

No, unless you are academically disqualified from the University.

You must earn a term and cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Subject to disqualification means your quarter and cumulative GPA have not met the academic standards set forth by the University (see Academic Senate Regulation 515.B). Your academic record will be reviewed by your college and your continued registration will be at the discretion of your college provost. Notification is made as quickly as possible through the VAC.

Academic disqualification means you are prohibited from further enrollment in classes at any University of California campus, UC San Diego Summer Session, and UC San Diego Concurrent Enrollment. The disqualification appears on your official transcript.

If you have been academically disqualified, you may have an opportunity to appeal the disqualification. Your academic notice will address this in detail.

To be in good standing, your term and cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher.

A student athlete must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA for eligibility each quarter under NCAA eligibility requirements as applicable to UC San Diego. Each student's academic record will be evaluated at the end of each quarter to verify eligibility by Intercollegiate Athletics.

If you are academically disqualified, you will be dropped from all of your classes.
