Steps to Improving Your Academic Success

Academic Probation

When a student is placed on Academic Probation a hold is placed on their student record in order to be able to provide students support and connect with resources.

• Freshman (0-29 units completed), a hold is placed on their MyCSUSM which will prevent future registration.
• Sophomore, Junior and Senior (30+ units completed): a hold is placed on their MyCSUSM but will not impact future registration
