What is progress probation, and how do I avoid it?
Progress probation: A student who has attempted at least 12 semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on progress probation when the cumulative percentage of unsuccessful units attempted at RCC reaches or exceeds 50%. A student on progress probation because of an excess of unsuccessful units attempted at RCC shall achieve good standing when the percentage of units in this category drops below 50 percent. To discuss strategies for avoiding or getting off of Progress Probation, see an RCC Counselor.
Progress Probation occurs if you receive too many “W”s, “F”s or “NC”s in one semester. Specifically, Progress Probation occurs if you complete less than the required number of units in which you enroll (see below). Completing a class means receiving a grade of “CR”, “D” or higher. If you receive a “W”, “F”. “NC”. “I”, “IP” or “RD” in a class, that is considered not completing the course.
