What is the difference between Academic and Disciplinary Probation?
A student can be placed on Academic Probation by the Dean of his or her school or college if the student’s GPA or units completed fall below academic requirements (e.g., below a 2.0 cumulative or quarter GPA, receiving a “D” or “F” in any course, failing to complete 39 units in an academic year). Disciplinary Probation is a sanction imposed for violation of University or campus Standards of Conduct for Students; it is specific to behavior, not to grades, and does not affect the student’s academic standing or status.
