College of Letters & Science

  • L&S students are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of ≥ 2.0 and a term/semester GPA of ≥ 1.5. Students who are unable to meet this requirement may be either continued on probation or subject to dismissal depending on how much improvement they’ve demonstrated. Students who continue on probation must still meet the requirements to return to good standing and may be subject to dismissal if it is determined that they may need to take time away and address the challenges that are affecting their academic performance.

  • L&S students who’ve been dismissed must take at least two semesters away at another institution, earning ‘B’s’ or better with a full course load. They may also consider attending Summer Sessions or Extension courses at Berkeley. Please meet with us or an L&S college advisor for more information.
