The Back on Track program supports students who fall into probation or dismissal status. The goal of Back on Track is to provide valuable policy information while helping students develop success strategies to get back on track and return to good standing.
When students fail to achieve minimum standards, it is our responsibility to set in motion policies and procedures that encourage and support student success. The following probation and dismissal process is designed for student success.
How to Address a Probation or Dismissal Hold
We recommend that students on Probation 1 meet with a counselor. Contact the Counseling Department at (916) 691-7316 to make an appointment.
Students on Probation 1 must achieve a 2.0 GPA or better and complete at least half of their attempted units, or they will be placed on Probation 2.
We recommend that students on Probation 2 meet with a counselor and utilize campus resources for additional help and support. Contact the Counseling Department at (916) 691-7316 to make an appointment.
