At Irvine Valley College, students are placed on probation under the following conditions:
- Academic Probation: Your cumulative grade point average was below 2.00 after your last enrolled semester.
- Progress Probation: Your total of W, No Pass/No Credit, or I grades after your last enrolled semester was above 50% of all grades earned.
Students are subject to DISMISSAL when they reach three consecutively enrolled semesters of probation in any combination of the two probation types mentioned above.
About Probation
- It is a district-wide process regarding classes at IVC and Saddleback College.
- Students placed on probation are notified by email after each fall and spring semester.
- Students on probation in their last three enrolled semesters are subject to dismissal and will be notified of dismissal in such cases.
Since probation regards cumulative coursework, it may take several semesters to improve a probation situation.
