<p>Hello Everyone.
I am a freshmen at Ucdavis. I just received my final grades for my first quarter. I did very poorly on my classes. I took Bis2a as a freshmen without being prepared and failed the class. My GPA fell below 2.0. My academic standing is now subject to academic dismissal. I am really scared of what’s going to happen for me. I tried to contact the dean at my college department to schedule a appointment, but their hours are off until January 2. Will I not be given a second chance to improve myself and be dismissed?><</p>
<p>Are you above a 1.5 GPA? If so, I believe you automatically have one quarter to bring up your grades (don’t quote me on that, though.) If it’s below a 1.5, they reserve the right to dismiss you from the University. However, they review each case individually and may give you a chance to bring your GPA up.</p>
<p>No.My gpa is below 1.5…</p>
<p>’'A student will be subject to disqualification for quantitative reasons if, at the end of any Spring Quarter, the minimum progress calculation for the preceding academic year shows that the student passed an average of less than 12 units per quarter.</p>
<p>For every student who fails to meet minimum progress at the end of Spring Quarter, a “degree progress average” will be calculated at the close of the next full-time quarter of enrollment at UC Davis. The degree progress average is defined as the quotient of the number of units passed during all full-time quarters from the initial quarter of matriculation at UC Davis divided by the number of full-time quarters completed at UC Davis.</p>
<p>A student whose degree progress average is less than 13 units shall be “subject to disqualification for quantitative reasons.” A student whose degree progress average is 13 or more units shall not be “subject to disqualification for quantitative reasons.” </p>
<p>If a student fails to make minimum progress at the end of Spring Quarter, the degree progress average shall be calculated each subsequent full-time quarter of enrollment as long as the student is “subject to disqualification for quantitative reasons.” A student who is “subject to disqualification for quantitative reasons” at the end of two consecutive full-time quarters of enrollment shall be disqualified from the university. </p>
<p>In the case of dismissal for quantitative reasons, the official transcript will state that the student is not in good academic standing." Once a student has met the quantitative standards of scholarship, or has satisfied all requirements for graduation, the notation will be removed from the transcript. ‘’ From what they said…</p>
<p>At this point all you can really do is go to your dean’s office ASAP. Nobody here would be able to tell you if you’ll actually get dismissed or not; I personally have seen cases both where the person was immediately dismissed and where they were given another chance. It’s on a case by case basis, so only an adviser in the dean’s office would be able to tell you what’s going to happen.</p>
<p>For UC Davis, they’ll probably have you attend an appointment with your advisor and threaten to dismiss you if you don’t attend. Since you are a freshman and it’s your first quarter they will most likely be more lenient with you and give you a probationary quarter.</p>
<p>Hey, if you don’t mind me asking, in what cases have you seen where the person was immediately dismissed?</p>
Hey, i happen to be in a similar situation as you have been in. I’m a freshman right now just finished my 1st quarter and am now on AD. Could you please tell me what was the outcome of your case. Did they let you stay?
If you have a good appeal case, it can help in their decision to let you stay. When I was first put on AD, I wrote in my appeal that I had just transferred in from a community college that went by the semester system, therefore I had trouble adjusting to the fast-pacedness of the UC system and everything piling on me so quickly. I also had a great advisor who understood my problems and helped me work things out so I could stay. It took a while, but I was finally taken off AD/AP the summer of the following year.
