Academic probation and progress probation status are actions taken by the College to express concern that a student is not maintaining satisfactory academic performance toward a stated educational goal.

We encourage you to see a counselor whenever you have a question about your academic program. Please keep in mind that during the the first few weeks of the semster our counselors are very busy.  Students see counselors on a first come first served basis.

What is Academic Probation?
You are on Academic Probation if you have attempted at least 12 units and your cumulative grade point average is below a 2.00 or "C" average.
Read Delta's Scholastic Probation Policies for more information.

• Earn a "C" or better in all of your courses.
• Repeat courses that you previously earned a "D" or "F" in.
• Work with a counselor to develop a plan of action.  Stop by Counseling Center 234 on the 2nd floor of the DeRicco Student Services Building after 2:00 pm to schedule an appointment.  You can also schedule an appointment online by clicking on Make an Appointment in the menu to the left of the screen.   Make sure you request an appointment specifically for Probation.
