* For students who are on probation and or dismissed status, a Status Information Notification (pdf) will be e-mailed via the college e-mail system shortly after the beginning of each term. The notification will inform students of their academic status as of the end of the previous term. The notification will also contain helpful information to assist students in moving off of probation/dismssed status.

Yosemite Community College District (YCCD) Board Policy 5560, Academic Status:
Probation
A student shall be placed on academic probation if he or she has attempted a minimum of 12 semester units of work and has a grade point average of less than a "C" (2.0).
A student shall be placed on progress probation if he or she has enrolled in a total of at least 12 semester units and the percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled, for which entries of "W," "I" and "NC" were recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent.
A student who is placed on probation may submit an appeal in accordance with procedures to be established by the Chancellor.
A student on academic probation shall be removed from probation when the student's accumulated grade point average is 2.0 or higher. A student on progress probation shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units in the categories of "W," "I" and "NC" drops below fifty percent.
Dismissal
A student who is on academic probation shall be subject to dismissal if the student has earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in all units attempted in each of three (3) consecutive semesters.
A student who is on progress probation shall be subject to dismissal if the cumulative percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled for which entries of "W," "I" and "NC" are recorded in at least three (3) consecutive semesters reaches or exceeds fifty percent.
A student who is subject to dismissal may submit a written appeal in compliance with administrative procedures.
Readmission
A student who has been dismissed may request reinstatement. Readmission may be granted, denied or postponed according to criteria contained in administrative procedures.
The Chancellor shall develop procedures for the implementation of this policy that comply with the Title 5 requirements.

NOTE:
During a normal budget year students who are on dismissal status would be blocked from registration and required to see a counselor to apply for readmission to the college. Due to budget constraints resulting in limited counseling resources this summer, students on dismissal status will not be blocked from registration for the fall 2009 semester. It is important that you take corrective action to improve your academic/progress status because normal academic/progress status monitoring, and follow up, will resume after the fall 2009 semester.
A Status Information notice will be e-mailed, via the college e-mail system, to students mid June informing them of their academic status as of the end of the Spring 2009 term.
* Students on second semester probation are required to attend a workshop
NOTE:
During a normal budget year students who are on second semester probation status would be required to attend a Probation Workshop. Due to budget constraints resulting in limited counseling resources this summer, probation workshops are not being provided. It is important that you take corrective action to improve your academic/progress status because normal academic/progress status monitoring, and follow up, will resume after the fall 2009 semester.
