- Students not on probation will be disqualified if the cumulative GPA is 1.00 or less.
- Disqualified students will not be allowed to register unless they are formally reinstated and/or readmitted to the University.
Academic Dismissal
- A student reinstated after disqualification who earns a semester GPA below 2.00 or fails to meet other requirements specified in the reinstatement contract will be dismissed.
- Academically dismissed students are not eligible for readmission without at least one semester of absence from Sacramento State.
- Students who have been dismissed twice must sit out two years before petitioning to return.
Reinstatement
