<p>What happens when one is on academic probation for a semester? Do they send a letter home, and if they do, which address? Are there any requirements you have to do or documents you have to sign besides pulling your grades up?</p>
<p>What happens at Cal is totally confidential unless you share it - whether you are on academic probation, what your grades are, or if you are ill and being treated by the Tang clinic. Doesn’t matter if the parents pay, privacy protection for students takes precedence.</p>
<p>dont get on academic probation. Problem solved.</p>
<p>there’s no letter anymore. it’s only email.</p>
<p>so the school wouldn’t contact a parent at all?</p>
<p>no, you’re an adult and need to work out solutions to your own problems. if telling parents is a solution, then doing so is a decision you have to make.</p>
<p>actually, my parents got an letter about my grades (range, not exactly when I got) :S Is that a violation of my privacy? :S</p>
<p>Really? It was directed specifically at your parents?</p>
<p>very surprised about the letter to your parents - perhaps you signed some permission at some time back and don’t remember doing it?</p>
<p>Yes, it was addressed to them :S It said I made it on the dean’s list, and gave a GPA range… o.O</p>
<p>lol…it can’t be exactly a problem for your folks that you got a high gpa, right?</p>
<p>yeah getting on the dean’s list is totally the definition of academic probation.</p>
