Any student whose total GPA is below a 1.0 will be disqualified immediately without first being placed on academic notice. A student on academic notice may also be disqualified after the following semester if his/her CSUN or Total GPA is below the minimum level for the class level (See Table below).
Academic Disqualification |
Class Level | Require CSUN GPA or Cumulative GPA |
Freshman (1-29 units earned) | 1.50 |
Sophomore (30-59 units earned) | 1.70 |
Junior (60-89 units earned) | 1.85 |
Senior (90+ units earned) | 1.95 |
It is recommended that previously disqualified students complete the online disqualification workshop prior to seeking advisement appointment. An academic advisor will issue a "Previously Disqualified Readmission Information Sheet" to students who may qualify for a future readmission. The following are general guidelines used to make readmission recommendations:
Show consistent academic success since the last disqualification. Grades of Incomplete, W, or grades below “C” are not considered to be a demonstration of academic success.
Raise CSUN and total grade point averages (GPAs) by a significant amount PRIOR to readmission.
- Must achieve significant GPA improvement no later than previous spring for a fall admission cycle.
If the University is accepting applications for previously disqualified students, submit an application for readmission through Cal State Apply during the FILING PERIOD. Please visit the Admissions and Records Returning to CSUN website for additional information.
Submit official transcripts from any other colleges attended since last enrollment at CSUN.
David Nazarain College of Business and Economics and University approval for readmission after disqualification is required. Not all students will be readmitted. Impacted majors such as Accountancy and Finance options (Financial Analysis, Financial Planning, and Risk Management and Insurance ) are not available for readmission consideration.
Students may complete up to 24 units through the Tseng College at CSUN. Prior to enrolling through Tseng College, please consult with a Nazarian College Academic Advisor. For enrollment information visit the Tseng College website.
Students may complete lower division coursework at a community college. Please seek advisement with a community college counselor and inquire about General Education Certification. See www.assist.org for course equivalencies for CSUN courses. Courses completed at colleges other than CSUN will contribute toward the total (cumulative) GPA, but do not change the CSUN GPA.
