• Progress Dismissal: The percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled for which entries of "W", "I" and "NP"("NC") grades are recorded in three consecutive semesters reaches or exceeds 50 percent.

Students given a "D" hold are sent a letter and an email indicating their status and how to proceed with re-enrolling in classes. In order to be considered for readmission, please submit an Academic Appeals Form to Admissions & Records.
