Prolonged absence, even when excused, may result in grade penalties, since the student is still responsible for course requirements. A student who has attempted at least 12 semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on academic probation if the student has earned an accumulated grade point average below 2.0. A student who is on academic probation for a grade point deficiency shall be removed from probation when the student's accumulated grade point average is 2.0 or higher. Dismissal A student who is on academic probation shall be subject to dismissal if the student earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in all units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters. A student who has been dismissed may petition for reinstatement with a written petition to the Academic Standards Committee.
Petitions are available from the counselors.
A student deficient in grade points who transfers to Gavilan College from another college will be admitted on probationary status and allowed to remain as long as a 2.0 or higher grade point average is maintained. Last revised on September 20, 1999.
