advice for a student on Subject to Dismissal

<p>I am a transfer student who has 1.25 cummulative GPA. I want to know what are the repurcussions. I really need one chance. I had a rough quarter. I have lousy roommates plus I was disturbed and depressed for not being in touch with my family.
I am from revelle college.
What are your opinions?</p>

<p>Hi nedhadh, I work at Marshall academic advising and I think you will find this particularly useful. [Back</a> On Track at UCSD](<a href=“http://backontrack.ucsd.edu/]Back”>http://backontrack.ucsd.edu/) I have seen multiple people in your situation and if you speak with a counselor at revelle and explain your situation to them and how you plan on raising your quarter AND cumulative GPA to at least a 2.0 you should be fine. Be forewarned however, that if you get below a 2.0 next quarter you’re likely to be academically disqualified (aka kicked out of UCSD) whereupon you would have to appeal to be readmitted (which is a long and often futile process.) Good luck to you and work extremely hard next quarter!</p>

<p>thank you stpatricks14,
I will try my best to get above 2.0. I was wondering, do I recieve any notification from the college?
How should I handle this? Do I definitely get a chance before they decide to expel me?
I am really worried…</p>

<p>You should contact them immediately.</p>

<p>is this your first quarter with this academic standing?
i was like this last quarter. you dont have to contact them as far as i know, theyll put a message on VAC telling you how to get back into good academic standing (theyll email your ucsd email when they post the VAC mesage).</p>

<p>but idk if it’s different because youre a transfer.
but you have to get a cumulative gpa above 2.0 for the next two quarters to get back into good standing.</p>

<p>Yes Chowsx,
This is my first quarter with this academic standing. How did you get back to good academic standing. Did you have to attend any sessions with counselor? Subject to academic dismissal does not mean that they kick you out right away right?
What was the exact procedure? Can you please let me know?</p>

<p>well fall 11 was my quarter that got me on subject to disqualification.
i didnt talk to anyone, didnt email anyone, just googled some sites. and i just waited until i got my VAC message which told me everything.</p>

<p>so then my goal for winter 11 was to retake the classes i failed and get a cumulative gpa above 2.0. which i did.</p>

<p>but im not in good standing yet…well i am kind of. but subject to disqualification puts you on some kind of gpa probation thing.
so i have to get my cumulative gpa above 2.0 for 2 additional quarters to be back in good standing.</p>

<p>subject to academic dismissal is not a right away kick-out. unless youve gotten it before.
the provost or someone reviews your paperwork and then you get the following quarter to revive your gpa. but if this gpa isnt about 2.0 then youll probably get kicked out.</p>

<p>and just fyi when you retake a class that you got a d or f in previously, the new grade will replace the old grade (as if you never took the class the first time)–in regards to the cumulative gpa. but the non-passing grades will always remain on the transcript.
oh and you can only replace a grade for the first 16 units you retake.</p>

<p>i apologize for the incoherency haa…hm</p>

<p>but good luck(:
i know it can be stressful. i just wished this whole past quarter that i hadnt messed up in the first place/:</p>

<p>oh, but i should add that if you feel the need to talk to an advisor then do so. it doesnt hurt and can help calm some worries.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot Chowsx.
You are a life saver dude!
I talked to the counselor and the advisor. All they want is an above 2.0 gpa from me this quarter.
Thanks a lot for your advice!:slight_smile:
I wish you all the success and happiness in life!</p>

<p>I am in a similar situation as well. Last spring quarter, I was on probation from being academically disqualified from UCSD. On the night of my final, I got a call from my family and found out that we got robbed and my father was severely injured. Therefore, I drove back home during the middle of the night in order to take care of my family. I realized that my final was at 8 am on that morning. Yet, I barely made it on time to take my final. I was in shock of everything that happened and wasn’t able to concentrate whatsoever. That being said, I ended up failing the course. I never thought of contacting the counselors, professor, or asked for an incomplete because I was just distraught of what happened. I tried to appeal my situation but the counselors said if I were to come back - I need a GPA of 3.0 with 12 units. They said that usually they wouldn’t even do this because I have been previously academically disqualified before. I felt betrayed and hurt that no one was understanding my situation. Yet, I couldn’t really do anything about it. Hence, I actually fulfilled 12 units with a GPA higher than a 3.0 Is there a still slight chance for me to redeem my readmission? I’ve been through a lot physically and mentally these past 2 years. I just hope someone can grant me a readmission.</p>
