Academic Standing
Good Academic Standing
What it Means and How to Keep It
In accordance with Title 5, the State of California has established minimum academic standards for all students enrolled in any California Community College.
All students new to Cabrillo start in good standing.
After a student has attempted 12 units their Academic Standing will be calculated and applied to the next registration period.
Students out of good standing are notified with an explanation of impacts their Academic Standing will have on registration activities.
Requirements to stay in GOOD standing:
Academic: maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for each term
Progress: complete more than 50% of attempted units with grades of A, B, C, or W
What it means to be out of good standing?
Defined as not meeting the state minimum requirements or "Being on Academic and/or Progress Probation or Dismissal." This means there is a Registration Restriction. The restrictions start with an alert and can result in a hold on your record, preventing registration until the hold is lifted.
