The GCC refers to your Gavilan Community College units. Academic Probation There are times when outside circumstances, poor study habits, inappropriate classes or even ambivalence about being in college may result in you earning low grades. This should not come as a surprise as the grade reports at the end of each semester will indicate both that semester s grades and your entire grade point history at Gavilan. Communication between you and your instructors is the best way to anticipate academic problems. Take advantage of the college s support services tutoring, study skills classes, and writing and reading labs.
Counseling can also make a significant and positive difference.
After two semesters of academic warnings, you will be placed on academic probation. This means that the college is seriously concerned about your progress. Even when you improve your grades, low grades from the past may continue to pull down your cumulative grade point average. A discussion with a counselor may help you decide which course of action will be the best for your situation. You will get a letter from the dean of students requiring you to schedule a meeting with a counselor.
