Guidelines and Procedures

Undergraduate students, after their second continuous semester on Academic Probation, will be Subject to Disqualification if their SFSU and/or OVERALL GPA for their student level is one of the following:

Students will receive an Academic Disqualification hold on their record which will restrict enrolling in future semesters until they meet with their department advisor and are reinstated.
Students must meet with their advisor by the specified deadline in their email notification and submit the signed Academic Standing Petition to the Registrar's Office. Once processed by the Registrar's Office, if reinstated, the student may enroll in a maximum of 13 units in the next Spring of Fall semester.

A Subject to Disqualification email notice is sent to students after their second continuous semester on academic probation.
Students will have 30 days from the email notification date to receive department advising and submit an approved Academic Standing Petition to the Registrar's Office located at One Stop in the Student Services Building, 1st floor.
Disqualified students may return to SFSU without reapplying in the future after their deficiencies are met. To qualify, students must follow the directions on the form that corresponds to their semester and year they were placed on DISQ status.
