Grades and Exams

When is a student placed on academic probation or dismissed for academic reasons?

In general, undergraduate students are placed on academic probation if their grade-point averages fall below 2.0. Students are subject to disqualification from further registration in the university (a) if, at the end of any term, their GPA for that term is less than 1.50 or (b) if, after two terms on academic probation, their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken in the university, is less than 2.00 ("C" average).

Graduate students must maintain an average of at least three grade points per unit in all upper-division and graduate courses taken for letter grade during residence at the University of California.

Specific policies regarding probation and dismissal for academic reasons can be found in the current General Catalog or check with your department.
