Disciplinary Actions
Probation
Students on probation are not considered to be in good academic standing. A student may be placed on probation for any of the following reasons:
- Failure to maintain the required GDGPA of 3.0 after earning eight credits or more.
- Failure to make adequate academic progress, including having too many incompletes or exceeding the time allowed for completing degree requirements.
- Failure to comply with conduct code.
A student on probation is required to register during the probationary semester.
Dismissal
A student on probation who fails to meet the minimum required academic standards at the end of the probationary semester will be dismissed. A student may be placed on academic probation only once. A student who has already been on probation will be dismissed, if he or she again fails to meet the minimum required academic standards in any subsequent semester. A student may also be dismissed for the following reasons:
- Failure to pass the general, comprehensive or final examinations required by his or her graduate program.
- Failure to comply with conduct code.
Disciplinary Action Letters
At the end of each semester, the Office of Graduate Student Services sends out academic probation and dismissal letters to students who have been placed on probation or dismissed. Copies of the letters are sent to the graduate programs, and if applicable, to appropriate units such as:
- East West Center
- Financial Aid Services
- Hamilton Library
- International Student Services
- Outreach College
- Student Employment & Cooperative Education Office
- Student Housing Services
- Veterans Administration
Students on academic probation who subsequently raise their GPA to above 3.0 will receive letters of removal from probation from the Office of Graduate Student Services. Copies are sent to units that received the initial letter of probation.
