Academic Disqualification

Disqualification means that, for one or more academic reasons, a student is no longer eligible to continue graduate study in their graduate program at UC Santa Cruz. The term “dismissal” should not be confused with “disqualification.” A graduate student who fails to make satisfactory academic progress may be officially disqualified from the university, in writing and/or via University electronic mail, only by the Graduate Dean and in accordance with the procedures outlined in this section. Dismissal is an administrative action resulting in removal from graduate study based on behavior or conduct and is governed by the Dean of Students.
