Academic and Progress Probation
If you are on academic probation or progress probation, it is important to take the necessary steps to improve your status with the college as soon as possible. Being placed on probation status can negatively impact your eligibility to take classes at Citrus College, as well as your financial aid eligibility. Probation status can lead to dismissal and complicate plans for graduation and transfer. If you are on probation, it is recommended you meet with a counselor to discuss your options to improve your academic standing.
A student is placed on academic probation when the student has:
- attempted at least 12 units
and
- earned a cumulative grade point average (GPA) below 2.00
A student is placed on progress probation when the student has:
- enrolled in a total of at least 12 units
and
- recorded grades of "W," "I," "NC" and "NP" reaches or exceeds fifty percent out of the cumulative percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled
Probation Workshops
Students on probation are required to complete a probation workshop well in advance of registration. Registration may be withheld until the workshop is completed. Students on probation for the first-time will need to complete the self-paced online workshop.
