PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Academic probation occurs when a student has attempted a total of 18 quarter units and earned a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0. Students will be placed on academic probation each quarter (excluding summer) as long as their cumulative GPA is below 2.0. Students will advance to the next level of academic probation in each consecutive enrolled quarter in which they do not earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0.
Progress probation occurs when a student has enrolled in at least 18 quarter units, as shown by the official academic record, and has received entries of F, W, I, NP or NC for 50% or more of those units.
A student who is on academic probation is subject to dismissal if the student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 for all units attempted in each of five consecutive quarters.
A student who is on progress probation is subject to dismissal if the student receives an F, W, I, NP or NC for 50% or more of the units enrolled in at least five consecutive quarters.
Having a cumulative GPA below 2.0 for two or more quarters, or a cumulative completion rate below 51% for two or more quarters, can affect eligibility for certain types of financial aid or veteran’s benefits. Visit deanza.edu/financialaid/types/waivers to learn more.

Academic Reinstatement
(Readmission After Dismissal)
The board of trustees for the Foothill- De Anza district has established procedures under state law for students to petition for reinstatement to De Anza College. Students must submit a new application for admission and meet with a counselor to review their academic goals and other matters relevant to a successful educational experience. If a counselor recommends approval, the petition must be submitted to the Appeal Review Committee. Students who petition for reinstatement must describe their educational goals, the courses they wish to take in a specific quarter and the factors that have changed which now cause them to expect success.
Important Note:
The De Anza College Probation/Dismissal system might not accurately reflect the correct academic probation status for students who have enrolled at both Foothill College and De Anza. Students who are enrolled within the current quarter at both colleges or have an academic history with both colleges, should contact a counselor at De Anza for assistance regarding their probation or dismissal status at De Anza.
If at any time students attend both De Anza and Foothill College in the Foothill-De Anza district, it is their responsibility to keep track of their grades to ensure that they remain in good standing at each college. Although students may be in good standing at Foothill College, if at De Anza they fall below the required academic performance, the above probation and dismissal procedures will apply to them at De Anza.

Any regulations adopted by the faculty and administration of the college shall have the same force as a printed regulation in the catalog and shall supersede, upon public announcement, by posting on official bulletin boards and by announcement, any ruling on the same subject that may appear in the catalog or other official bulletins of the college.
