ACADEMIC PROBATION § This occurs when overall GPA falls below 2. 0 § There are five levels Level 1, 2, 3, 4 (Pre-Dismissal) and Dismissal § Students will remain on academic probation each quarter (excluding summer) as long as their overall GPA is below a 2. 0 § Students will advance to the next level of academic probation in each consecutive enrolled quarter in which they do not earn a cumulative GPA of 2. 0. § Prevent this from happening by: Ø Checking grades at the end of each quarter Ø Repeating courses with “D” or “F” grades Ø Balancing your life (school, work, leisure, etc…)

REPEATING COURSES n You may only attempt or enroll in the same course three times. n If you receive 2 failing grades or 1 “W” and a 1 failing grade in a course, the system will block you, and you will need to request an override from Admissions and Records to register in it a third time. n Upon your third attempt, you must know that this is the final and last time you will be allowed to enroll in this course at De Anza or Foothill. Also, your instructor will be forced to issue you a letter grade. n After Three Attempts, permission to enroll in a course a fourth time will only be granted due to documented extenuating circumstances, significant lapse of time (5 years) and legally mandated for training/employment.

Course numbering & lettering § § § § Courses numbered #1 -99 are transferable to CSU (ex. ICS 7, EWRT 1 A) Courses numbered #1 -49 are transferable to UC Recommend using courses numbered #1 -49 for private & out of state schools until you contact them about what is required The letter following the number in a course means it’s part of a sequence (ex. ARTS 2 A, 2 B, 2 C). You may or may not be able to take courses out of sequence. Special Topic courses usually include an X (COUN 80 X) Z refers to Distance Education courses (ex. COUN 100. 64 Z is taught online) Y refers to Hybrid Courses (ex. COUN 100. 64 Y is taught part in class and part online)

Non-Transferable & Non-Degree Applicable Courses Ø Any courses numbered above # 99 are non-transferable (Example: EWRT 200 211, READ 200, 211, ESL 251, 252, 253, MATH 210, 212, 114) Ø Courses numbered 200 and above are non degree applicable (ex. Math 212, ESL 200) PASS/NO PASS COURSES (P/NP): Ø You may choose to take a class P/NP instead of for a letter grade. Usually, if you think you may barely pass and want to avoid compromising your overall GPA Ø IMPORTANT: be sure to check your major requirements and/or transfer institution to make sure that the course does not need to be taken for a letter grade!
