Possible Academic Disqualification; Help

I am a sophomore in college (CSUB) and I am about to finish my Fall semester. I am on academic reinstatement with a 1.7 GPA (not counting this fall semester). It seems like I am able to pass all my classes except one class that I am retaking. I am under a contract and cannot fail a class or I will face disqualification. For the most part, these courses so far are GE courses.

I will admit I may have not gone down the right path. I’ve accepted the consequences of my actions and sadly, I did outsource help too late. I am aware I put myself in this situation, and have accepted my possible fate. Although that is the case, I want to see what are my possible options if I were to get dismissed. I simply will not give up on my education and I want to overcome this and come back stronger.

I am aware that I cannot go to another 4 year university unless I improve academically. I am also aware I can attend a community college, but what are the odds of me getting into another school once I am able to improve myself and my GPA? I honestly would not like to return to this school, and I do not know if it is possible to even get into another CSU or even UC once I improve. What are the chances?

If anyone has gone through disqualification/dismissal and has been able to come back stronger, what were the steps that you took? Any advice?

Thank you for any help.

At non-impacted CSUs (currently CSUB, CSUCI, CSUDH, HSU, SFSU, CSUStan) for non-impacted majors (see Impacted Undergraduate Majors and Universities, 2024-25 | CSU ), having a 2.0 or higher college GPA with specified course requirements (general and major prep) completed makes you eligible for upper division transfer admission as a California resident.

If you leave CSUB on probation or are academically dismissed, the requirements for returning to CSUB are listed at California State University, Bakersfield .
