'repeat-delete' and academic probation requirements tighten as CSU system institutes Execute orders

New orders from the chancellor's office will put stricter limitations on the academic probation and repeat/withdraw system of CSU schools. It is up to each campus to institute these minimum requirements and possibly stricter ones if they deem necessary.

Beginning Fall 2009 undergraduate students will only be able to repeat 28 units or less (about 8 to 7 classes) where 16 units of those repeated classes can be "repeat-delete."

There are currently no limits sent, but the units repeated or withdrawn from prior to 2009 are exempt from these new limitations.

The other order creates a lower academic probation time limit before one is dismissed from degree programs. At present, only two semesters on academic probation is grounds for dismissal. The new order brings that down to one semester.
