Any Undergraduate student whose CSUB or Overall GPA falls below a 2.0 (good standing) will be placed on Academic Notice (formerly known as Academic Probation) and must attend an Academic Notice Workshop to have their hold removed (which prevents registration for the upcoming term). A student will be required to complete a workshop each semester that they are on Academic Notice.
EO 1038 Criteria for Academic Notice & Disqualification
| Class Level & Units Earned | Good Standing | GPA for Academic Notice | Disqualification - if GPA falls below in the second semester of Academic Notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freshman (Fewer than 30 units) | 2.00+ | 1.50-1.99 | 1.49 or below |
| Sophomore (30 to 59.99) | 2.00+ | 1.70-1.99 | 1.69 or below |

There are people and processes in place to support you if you have been Academically Disqualified. A student who has been Academically Disqualified will need to petition for Academic Reinstatement or petition for an Appeal of their Academic Disqualification. Additional information on either appeal process can be located on the Academic Petitions page.
