Mandatory Advising for

First-Year Freshmen who entered

in FALL 2011 and are now in their second semester.

Part One - Probation

Academic Probation

What defines probation status?

When SF state GPA or All College GPA is below 2.0, a student is on academic probation.

Where will I see that I am on probation?

On my SFSU, check your unofficial transcript, and PROBATION will be printed next to each semester in which either GPA was under a 2.0.

How is a student released from probation?

By raising both your ALL COLLEGE and SF State GPA to 2.0, probation status is cleared.
To do this, students can either earn A's and B's in their current classes, or in some cases, students may attempt to withdraw retroactively from courses or semesters. (See an academic advisor regarding this last option.)
Current students on probation received e-mails in February with instructions to meet with their advisors. 

PLEASE NOTE! Any student who is on probation for 3 consequtive semesters will not be allowed to return to SF State until they bring up their GPA elsewhere.
