Progress Notice
A student who has enrolled in a total of at least 18 quarter units as shown by the official academic record is placed on Progress Notice if the percentage of all units in which a student has enrolled and for which entries of "F," "W," "I," "NP" and "NC" are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50 percent).
Standards for Pause (formerly Dismissal)A student who is on Academic Notice is subject to Pause (formerly dismissal) if the student earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in all units attempted in each of 5 consecutive quarters which were graded on the basis of the grading system. A student who has been placed on Progress Notice shall be subject to Pause if the percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled for which entries of "F," "W," "I," "NP" and "NC" are recorded in at least 5 consecutive quarters reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). The governing board of a district shall adopt and publish procedures and conditions for Pause and appeal of Pause and request for reinstatement. |
Policy Documents
The information above is intended to provide a useful summary. Final authority is determined by the Board of Trustees and district policy documents, including
- Administrative Procedure 5052:
Back in Good Standing = Academic & Progress Notice and Pause Status Removed!
A student on Academic Notice for a grade point deficiency shall be removed from probation when the student's accumulated grade point average is 2.0 or higher.
A student on Progress Notice because of an excess of units for which entries of "F," "W," "I," "NP" and "NC" recorded shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units in this category drops below fifty percent (50%).
Once a student has returned to good academic standing, their Academic Progress Notce & Pause status is removed. However, counseling support and our college resources are still here to support as students continue their academic journey at Foothill College!
