Academic and Progress Notice and Pause (Formerly Probation and Dismissal)

Cosumnes River College uses Academic Notice, Progress Notice, Academic Pause, and Progress Pause to identify students who are struggling and offer them support. We will notify you if you are in one of these standings, or you can view your academic standing on your unofficial transcript after grades are posted each semester. Log in to eServices, then click Academic Records to find your unofficial transcript. If you are in notice or pause status, then you may need to meet certain requirements to remain enrolled in classes.

Definitions

Academic Notice and Academic Pause (AN1, AN2, AP)

• Students who have attempted at least 12 semester units, and whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0, will be placed on Academic Notice 1 (AN1).
• After the second consecutive semester of a cumulative GPA below 2.0, student will be placed on Academic Notice 2 (AN2).
• After the third consecutive semester, students are placed on Academic Pause (AP).
• When the overall GPA improves to 2.0 or higher, the student returns to Good Standing.

Progress Notice and Progress Pause (PN1, PN2, PP)

• Students who have attempted at least 12 semester units are placed on Progress Notice 1 (PN1) when W, I, and NP grades are recorded in one half or more of all units in which a student has enrolled.
• After the second consecutive semester, students fall into Progress Notice 2 (PN2).
• After the third consecutive semester, students are placed on Progress Pause (PP).
• When the overall CRC transcript has less than one half of W, I, or NP grades, the student returns to Good Standing.

Potential Consequences

Students who are placed on Academic Notice 2, Progress Notice 2, or Pause:

• Will lose priority registration as a continuing student and will only be able to register for classes during open enrollment (which is later than priority 1 and 2)
• May lose their California College Promise Grant eligibility

Students who have a term GPA of 2.0 and have completed more than half the attempted units for the term may appeal their loss of priority registration or the California College Promise Grant.
