Loss of Enrollment Priority & Appeal Process

Continuing Students would lose enrollment priority if they have either earned more than 100 units (not including non-degree applicable basic skill courses) or have been on academic or progress probation for two (2) consecutive terms (Spring/Fall).

Students may appeal their Loss of Enrollment Priority in an attempt to reinstate original priority registration date/time. Students must submit a Loss of Enrollment Priority petition form to the Admissions Office (E1-105), along with supporting documentation, by the petition deadline. An established committee will review each petition and will contact students via email regarding their petition results.
