What is Academic Warning (formerly probation)?

学术警告: 你会 be placed on academic warning if you have less than a cumulative 2.0的绩点 when attempting 12 or more units.

进步的警告: You are placed on progress warning if you attempted 12 or more cumulative units and "W", "I" and "NC" units reach or exceed half the cumulative units attempted. 你会 be removed from progress warning status when the cumulative number of "W", "I" and "NC" units recorded is less than half the cumulative units attempted.

Consequences of Academic Warning

  • You may not be able to register for classes until a Back to Success workshop is attended
  • Suspension of Financial 援助
  • 限制为12.3 units per semester
  • Sequential classes with substandard grades must be repeated. For example, if you do not pass English 1A, you must repeat this course before you can take the next English 课程.
  • Expenses for repeating classes to raise GPA
  • 毕业 and/or transfer delays or complications

解雇

You may be dismissed for academic or progress warning if you are on warning for more than two consecutive semesters. If you have been dismissed from another college and are applying to Pasadena City College, you will be processed as if the dismissal occurred at Pasadena City College.

Petition for Reinstatement After 解雇

Is you have been dismissed, you may petition for readmission after a lapse of one 16-week semester or more. You must present positive evidence of a serious intent to succeed and have a realistic academic goal identified. If the petition is granted, you will be admitted on either academic or progress warning, but with enrollment limitations.

策略 for 得到ting Off Academic Warning

Here are a few basic strategies a student can use to help themselves 了警告.

  • Clean up your transcript!
    Retaking classes with D or F grades is the quickest way to improve your GPA and get 了警告. A "C" or higher grade will substitute your previous substandard grade. If you are on progress warning, finish more than 50% of your units each semester to 避免被解雇. If you must, drop classes during the first two weeks of the Spring/Fall semesters so that a "W" is not recorded.
  • 取更少的单位!
    Reduce your course unit load to devote more free time to each course, especially if you have work or family obligations. Remember that rushing to fulfill your educational goal may result in having to repeat courses, wasting time and money.
  • Make an Educational Plan.
    咨询咨询师 to make sure you are on track.
  • Take a counseling course.
  • 实际有效的 learning strategies/study skills.
  • Use campus resources.
    得到 辅导 if you are having trouble. Talk to your professors. 在学校学习 图书馆 if studying at home is too distracting. Find a job on campus if possible.
  • Drop classes before the deadlines.
    Check your schedule after you drop. Do not assume a professor will drop you.
  • Attend a Back to Success workshop!
