Academic probation

Applying to College

<p>Fall quarter of freshman year at UCSB, I was placed under academic probation. As of now, (end of my winter quarter) I know that I will have a gpa higher than a 2.0. However, I know that for one of my classes this quarter I will either get a C- or D. Am I allowed to have a D if I am on academic probation???!!! I'm really scared!!!! I don't want to be kicked out of school.</p>

<p>You need to ask your academic advisor. There is no way to answer that for you without knowing which school you attend and making the call for you.</p>

<p>I go to UCSB… I guess I should but since im on the quarter system, I already took my final for that class… but for my other two classes im getting an a and b</p>

<p>From your school’s handbook:
Academic probation. Undergraduate students in the College of Creative Studies, the College of Engineering, and the College of Letters and Science are placed on academic probation if their cumulative grade-point average in the University of California falls below 2.0 (C average) at the end of any quarter. While on academic probation, students are under the supervision of the dean of their college. Students on academic probation will be returned to regular academic status if they raise their cumulative average to 2.0 or above by the end of their second quarter on academic probation.</p>

<p>Academic disqualification. Any of the following conditions make undergraduate students in the College of Creative Studies, the College of Engineering, and the College of Letters and Science subject to academic disqualification from further enrollment at UCSB:

  1. At the end of any quarter their grade-point average is less than 1.5 for that quarter.
  2. Their grade-point average for any quarter falls below 2.0 while they are on academic probation.
  3. After two consecutive quarters on academic probation they have not raised their cumulative UC grade-point average to 2.0 or better.</p>

<p>If all your courses are the same number of credits, the A + B + C would give you a GPA for this quarter of 2.0 (C- or D would be lower). That and your first quarter together have to average out to 2.0 How bad was your first quarter?</p>

<p>This quarter would be a 3.0. If you took the same amount of courses last semester, as long as you got above a 1.0 you should be fine. However, I’d need more information to be sure.</p>
