PROBATION TERMINOLOGY OUTLINE
What is Academic Probation?
A student who has attempted at least 12 semester units, as shown by the academic record, will be placed on Academic Probation when the grade-point average for total units attempted at El Camino College is less than 2.0.
What can I do to be removed from academic probation?
A student will be removed from Academic Probation when the cumulative grade-point average is 2.0 or higher in total units attempted at El Camino College. The student must do the following in order to return to good academic standing:
 Repeat: Students may repeat a course in which they have received a substandard grade (that is, D, F or NC/NP) only once. Upon completion of these courses, the student’s cumulative GPA will be recalculated. The new cumulative GPA will reflect only the passing grades of C or better. However, the student’s transcript will show all grades earned.
 Academic Renewal: The student can file a petition to have up to 24 units of D or F grades omitted on the cumulative GPA You may file for Academic Renewal if you meet the following criteria:
The student must have earned a GPA of 2.25 or higher in the last 30 units of graded work completed at any regionally accredited college or university, or a GPA of 2.5 or higher in the last 24 units of graded work, completed at any regionally accredited college or university. Finally, at least two years must have elapsed since the substandard semester.
 The student’s remaining units must be completed with grades of C or better to reduce the effect of D’s or F’s in the cumulative GPA.
What is Progress Probation?
A student who has enrolled 12 or more semester units as shown by the official academic record will be placed on Progress Probation if entries of “W,” “I,” “NC” and/or “NP” account for 50 percent or more of the total units attempted. Courses dropped prior to the “No Notation” deadline are not considered “units attempted” and do not receive entries as “W” “I,” or “NC/NP.”
What can I do to be removed from progress probation?
A student will be removed from Progress Probation when the percentage of entries of “W,” “I,” “NC” and/or “NP” drops below 50 percent of the total units attempted.
What is Dismissal?
Dismissal Due to Academic Probation
A student on Academic Probation will be dismissed if the student earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in all graded credit units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters. However, if a student achieves a 2.0 or higher during the most recent regular (fall, spring) semester while on probation, the student will continue on probation, but will not be subject to dismissal. Terms shorter than 16 weeks (i.e. winter, summer) will not be considered a semester. A semester in which the student does not take any courses will not be counted as a semester.
