The following provisions apply to all undergraduates. Graduate and professional students with scholarship deficiencies are subject to action at the discretion of their respective deans.

The University of California Academic Senate Scholarship Regulations (UCSR 900) govern the scholastic status, also known as Academic Standing, for undergraduate students. The UC Davis Division Academic Senate Regulation A552 specifies the minimum standards of progress requirement, and Regulation A540(C) specifies the use of the grade Incomplete in the determination of an undergraduate student's scholastic status.

Students should contact the dean’s office of their college if they need academic advising regarding academic standing, probation or dismissal.

In the case of academic probation or subject to disqualification, the official transcript will state that the student is not in good academic standing. Once a student has met the standards of scholarship, or has satisfied all requirements for graduation, the notation will be removed from the transcript.

Part-Time Status. Quarters during a period for which a student was officially approved for Part-Time Status are omitted from the degree progress calculation.

Minimum Progress Waiver. Students with a documented disability may be eligible for a minimum progress waiver. Students apply for such a waiver through the Student Disability Center. Approval of the waiver omits the specified term(s) from the degree progress calculation.
