PROBATION
-
A student will be placed on academic probation under the following
criteria:
-
Academic probation based on grade point average: A student who has
attempted at least 12 semester units, as recorded on his/her official
college transcript, is placed on academic probation if the student
has earned below a cumulative 2.0 ("C") grade point average.
-
Academic probation based on failure to maintain satisfactory progress:
A student who has enrolled in a total of at least 12 semester units,
as recorded on his/her official college transcript, is placed on academic
probation when the percentage of all units for which entries of "W",
"I" and "NC" have been recorded reaches or exceeds
50 percent. (See Calendar for deadline dates for withdrawal.)
The two probation criteria described above are applied in
such a manner that a student may be placed on probation under either or
both systems.
A student on probation may petition the Academic Standards
and Policies Review Committee, in accordance with College procedures,
for removal from probation if that status has resulted from unusual circumstances
beyond the student's control. Students on probation status are strongly
encouraged to participate in the Student Success Program (see below).
REMOVAL FROM PROBATION
A student on academic probation on the basis of grade point average
shall be removed from probation when his/her cumulative grade point average
is 2.0 (C) or higher.
Students on academic probation on the basis of failure to maintain satisfactory
progress shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units
in this category is no longer 50 percent or above.
DISMISSAL
A student on probationary status shall be subject to dismissal if
in any two subsequent semesters either or both of the following criteria
are applicable:
a. The student's cumulative grade point average is less than 1.75 in
all units attempted.
b. The cumulative total of units in which the student has been enrolled,
for which entries of "W," "I," and "NC"
has been recorded, reaches or exceeds 50 percent.
A dismissed student may not enroll in day and evening classes for one
semester before petitioning for reinstatement. In order to be approved
for reinstatement, students will be required to participate in the Student
Success Program (see below).
For further information concerning student grievances or rights of appeal
regarding the Student Success Program and reinstatement, students should
please contact the Office of the Dean of Counseling in Building 2, Room
2218, or call (650) 738-4124.
STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM
The Student Success Program has been designed to assist Skyline Students
on probation or dismissal status and to promote their academic success.
All students on probation or dismissal status must attend a Student Success
workshop and meet with a Student Success counselor for on-going academic
counseling and follow-up.
Students experiencing any academic difficulty or who have questions about
the Student Success Program should please
contact the counseling office at (650) 738-4317.
