Combination of Academic and Progress Standards
Any combination of two consecutive terms of cumulative GPA below 2.0, and/or cumulative unit completion of not more than 50% may result in loss of Promise Grant fee waiver eligibility and priority registration.
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 the Promise Grant fee waiver eligibility and priority registration. After the second consecutive term of probation, you may lose eligibility for the Promise Grant fee waiver and priority registration at your next registration.
How to regain eligibility:
If you lose eligibility for the California College Promise Grant 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 California College Promise Grant and priority registration under these regulations.
