How will I know?
You will be notified within 30 days at the end of each term if you are being
placed on either Academic (GPA) and/or Progress (Course Completion)
probation. Your notification will include the information that a second term
of probation will result in loss of fee waiver eligibility and priority
registration. After the second consecutive term of probation, you may lose
eligibility for the fee waiver and priority registration at your next registration.
How to regain eligibility:
If you lose eligibility for the BOG Fee Waiver and priority registration, there
are a few ways that you can have it reinstated:
•
Improve your GPA or Course Completion measures to meet the
academic and progress standards
•
Successful appeal regarding extenuating circumstances
•
Not attending school for two consecutive primary terms (fall/spring
semesters)
The appeals process for extenuating circumstances includes:
•
Verified accidents, illness or other circumstances beyond your control
•
Changes in economic situation
•
Evidence of inability to obtain essential support services
•
Special consideration factors for CalWORKs, EOPS, DSPS and
veteran students
•
Disability accommodations not received in a timely manner
Please note that foster youth and former foster youth (age 24 years and
younger) are not subject to loss of the BOG Fee Waiver and priority
registration under these regulations.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the financial aid
office or admissions and records office for assistance.
