Graduation Process for Returning Students

Academic Probation or Disqualification. What do I do?

STEP 1: Meet with the Graduation Specialist to determine the best options for you to increase your CSUDH GPA to 2.0. This may include one or both of the following options:

Repeating classes you failed. This also includes determining what grades you must earn in the courses you repeat. If you've already repeated classes, there are limits to how many courses you can repeat. The Graduation Specialist will help determine if you've reached the limit.

You are retroactively withdrawing from an entire semester. Students who wish to withdraw from a whole semester must submit an Academic Petition or Appeal. Students are encouraged to submit a petition with support from the Graduation Specialist. If you've already withdrawn from classes, there are limits to how many courses you can withdraw from. The Graduation Specialist will help determine if you've reached the limit.
