Subject to Disqualification

Hey, so I failed two classes in Fall 2017 and was put on Subject to Disqualification. This quarter, Winter 2018 I failed my classes again . Does that mean I’m going to get kicked out???

Students will be placed on “Academic Probation” if, at the end of any quarter, their cumulative GPA or GPA for the term is less than 2.00 but greater than 1.50. Students who were placed on Academic Probation in the previous quarter will remain on Academic Probation for one additional quarter if their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken at the University, remains less than 2.00 (“C” average). This will be true even if the quarterly GPA is above 2.00. However, if the quarterly GPA is below 1.50 the student will be on “Subject To Disqualification” (STD).

Disqualification Review Request Form & Readmission:

Students who have earned a quarter or cumulative GPA of less than 1.5 are placed on STD, (Subject to Disqualification) and are in danger of being disqualified from UCR. Usually a student must be on STD for two or more quarters before receiving a letter of disqualification via their UCR R’Mail account. However, a student who is not making adequate progress towards a degree may be disqualified even though not on STD status. Furthermore, current UCR policy dictates that Academic Disqualification may occur when a student’s Grade Point Balance falls below -10.0. Students with an even lower Balance of -20.0 or less will automatically receive a letter of disqualification from the Divisional Dean. For instructions on how to calculate your balance, please see the UCR Guide to Academic Recovery publication. For those students with a slightly higher balance, other factors like repeat units available for grade replacement credit and total units completed may be considered in the disqualification decision. Failure to meet the terms of a College Final Contract will result in Academic disqualification, regardless of the student’s Grade Point Balance. In the event of an Academic Disqualification, UCR students have the right to a Disqualification review. To request a disqualification review, students must submit a completed Disqualification Review Request Form in person, with appropriate documentation during our open office hours. If the disqualification is not rescinded after review, students then have the right to meet with the Divisional Dean in person, by appointment only, to discuss the reasons for denial.
