Can I take a reduced Course Load while on Academic Probation?

In order to ensure success while still considering health and wellness, students on Academic Probation may be eligible for a Reduced Course Load if they are a graduating senior, working full or part-time, parenting or caretaking, and/or have a disability. Reduced Course Loads are approved through the respective College and the Disabled Students Program (DSP).

Before a student requests a Reduced Course Load, they should first consult with a Financial Aid & Scholarships Office Advisor to verify their aid eligibility if they were to reduce their enrollment below 12 units.

In addition to a Reduced Course Load, students who are registered with the Disabled Students Program may also be eligible for additional academic accommodations that can benefit their holistic academic and personal success. Please refer to the DSP website for more information and/or schedule an appointment with an EOP Counselorto learn more.
