Academic Disqualification
Starting spring 2024 and onward, undergraduate students are academically disqualified if their total grade point averages fall below the following GPA thresholds and based on class level (total units earned). See table below.
When a student experiences academic disqualification, they are no longer in an "admitted/matriculated" status with CSUF. Students can take courses through Open University at CSUF to raise the GPA and become eligible for readmission to Cal State Fullerton.
To enroll in degree classes through Open University, student must complete mandatory advising at least once through either a workshop/webinar or an individual appointment with an Open University Advisor link opens in a new window.
For those who have less than 59 units, email titanpathways@rpybbk.com link opens in a new window to learn about additional options to return to Cal State Fullerton.
Class Level | Units Earned | Cumulative GPA Level |
---|---|---|
Seniors | 90 or more | Below 1.95 |
Juniors | 60-89 | Below 1.85 |
Sophomores | 30-59 | Below 1.70 |
Freshmen | 0-29 | Below 1.50 |
Steps for Regaining Good Academic Standing and Readmission to CSUF
Step 1
Before getting started and proceeding through this process, take a moment to reflect upon your experience as a student. Assess your individual goals. Do you want to earn a degree from CSUF? What changes can be made that will promote a positive outcome?
Step 2
Evaluate the primary reasons leading to your Academic Disqualification. Once your individual challenges have been identified, develop a specific plan that will allow you to raise your GPA, make sufficient progress towards a degree, and return to CSUF!
Step 3
If you plan to raise your GPA through enrolling courses via Open University, attend either a academic disqualification workshop/webinar OR meet with an Open University Advisor. Whether you attend a webinar or appointment it will be an opportunity to review your individual academic plan, learn criteria to be eligible for future readmission to CSUF, consider strategies to repair your GPA, understanding steps to enroll in courses via Open University at CSUF, and formally apply for future readmission at Cal State Apply. Keep in mind when creating your plan, only the first 24 units earned through Open University will count as cumulative units towards a degree at CSUF.
