San José State University : Academic Advising & Retention Services : Academic Disqualification

Academic Disqualification

An undergraduate student on academic probation is subject to academic disqualification when the term gpa falls below 2.0

(NOTE: This is a CHANGE IN POLICY effective with Fall 2011 grades. If you are currently on academic probation, you must earn at least 2.0 in your Fall 2011 grades to remain at SJSU.)

The President of SJSU may designate a campus official to act to disqualify a student not on probation when the following circumstances exist:

At the end of any term, the student has a cumulative GPA below 1.00, and
The cumulative GPA is so low that in view of the student's overall educational record, it seems unlikely that the deficiency will be removed within a reasonable period, as defined by campus academic policy.
