<p>I am a Junior, engineering major at UC Davis, and my past quarterly GPA was 1.36. Since I am scheduled to average above 13units per quarter anyways, I took only 11 units winter quarter, and received 2 Ds and 1 C. Before the quarter my overall GPA was 3.0, and now it has dropped to about 2.66. Unfortunately, if your quarterly GPA drops below 1.5, you are sent straight to “subject to disqualification” (no academic probation ). I am freaking out that I’m going to get dismissed.</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me what the chances are that theyll give me a second chance and make me sign some contract or something that ill do better, rather than just kick me out of school?</p>
<p>I have never been on Academic probation or subject to dismissal before</p>
<p>please someone help me bc I am freaking out!</p>
<p>I’ve been hearing different stories for people on AD. One of the stories I heard were that if an engineer were placed on AD, they would be kicked out of school for a quarter to “find” yourself and/or enroll in community college for that short time.</p>
<p>What I believe happens though is that you’ll talk to your major adviser who will forward your information to the dean. It is up to the dean to decide your fate. Most likely, they will have you sign a contract that will allow you to stay at UCD as long as you pass all your classes with a B- or better in the following quarter. Read the contract carefully, because your ultimate goal is to decide which classes you want to take in order to meet the criteria. (Take some easy GEs… don’t try to be superman and take difficult courses that may jeopardize your situation!)</p>
<p>Your first steps should be to meet with your advisor/dean ASAP. Take initiative to show them you REALLY want to stay. There is no automatic system that kicks you out of Davis, it is their decision. Good luck!</p>
<p>If you’ve never been on AP before, then they should take that into consideration and be lenient. Explain your situation clearly and assure the dean that you’ll get things back on track.</p>
