Academic and Progress Probation and Dismissal

Academic Probation, Progress Probation, and Dismissal are to be taken seriously. You will be notified through your Los Rios Gmail if you are in any of these academic standings. You can view your academic standing on your unofficial transcript after grades are posted each semester. Visit eServices to review your transcript.

Definitions

Academic Probation and Academic Dismissal (AP1, AP2, AD)

• When the overall GPA improves to 2.0 or higher, the student returns to Good Standing.

Progress Probation and Progress Dismissal (PP1, PP2, PD)

• Students who have attempted at least 12 semester units are placed on Progress Probation 1 (PP1) when W, I, and NP grades are recorded in one half or more of all units in which a student has enrolled.
• After the second consecutive semester, students fall into Progress Probation 2 (PP2).

Potential Consequences
