Strategies for Academic Success Workshop
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ placed on academic warning (formerly academic probation) should complete the Strategies for Academic Success Workshop .
Strategies for Academic Success will teach students to:
- understand the University's academic warning policy,
- recognize and remove barriers to academic success,
- identify and utilize University resources,
- create a strategy to return to good academic standing.
Additional resources focused on GPA improvement can be found by visiting the Academic Probation/Warning BeachBoard page found in your MyApps section of sso.csulb.edu.
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ who have questions about academic standing, repeating courses for grade forgiveness, or who want additional advice about improving their GPAs should meet with a UCUA academic advisor in a drop-in advising session. Drop-in hours and additional information can be found on the main UCUA webpage.
All undergraduate students must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in all classes taken at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and in all transferable courses from other colleges and universities, to remain in good academic standing.
Academic warning results when a student's grades fall below a 2.0 GPA in either the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ cumulative GPA (all courses at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ) or in the overall cumulative GPA (all transferable college courses, including ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ work).
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ placed on academic warning are given one semester to raise their GPAs to a 2.0 and return to good academic standing. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ are subject to academic disqualification at the end of the first semester on academic warning if they have GPAs below the four minimum cumulative GPAs as follows:
| Units Completed | Cumulative GPA or ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ GPA |
|---|---|
| Freshman (fewer than 30 units completed) | 1.5 GPA |
| Sophomore (30 - 59 units completed | 1.7 GPA |
| Junior (60 - 89 units completed) | 1.85 GPA |
| Senior (90 + units completed) | 1.95 GPA |
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ whose ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and overall GPAs are higher than those listed above but still below 2.0 will earn a second semester on academic warning and must raise their GPAs to a 2.0 and return to good academic standing to avoid academic disqualification.
Enrollment Services informs students via email about their academic standing. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ should monitor their student email account regularly for notification. Academic standing can also be viewed in the MyÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Student Center.
Detailed information on academic standing, including academic warning, academic disqualification, and seeking reinstatement after academic disqualification, can be found by visiting the Academic Standing and Appeals page.
