Disqualification, Dismissal and Reinstatement

Academic Disqualification

When a student is on academic probation, the student will be academically disqualified if their Sacramento State or cumulative GPA after the semester is below a:

• Freshman (30 units): 1.50
• Sophomores (30-59.9 units): 1.70
• Juniors (60-89.9 units): 1.85
• Seniors (90 or more units): 1.95

• 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

• Students who have been disqualified or dismissed from the university are eligible to re-apply to return to the Sac State after meeting specific guidelines. Visit the Returning Students page.
