To be considered in good standing in the College of Engineering, students are required to:
-
maintain an overall UC GPA of ≥ 2.0
-
maintain a technical GPA of ≥ 2.0
-
maintain an upper division technical GPA of ≥ 2.0
-
earn a GPA each semester ≥ 2.0;
-
and make normal degree progress toward their officially declared major.

As of Fall 2023, the CoE adjusted its academic standing categories in the following ways:
-
Implemented new academic statuses called “Subject to Suspension” and “Suspension” into their college.
-
Students are considered “Subject to Suspension” when they’ve not met the academic requirements of the college but are permitted to continue taking courses under specific conditions.
-
Students are suspended if they are reviewed and it’s determined that they should take a break from academics. The college requires that suspended students take at least one academic year away from UC Berkeley and also requires students to meet specific conditions, including stepping away from academics for at least one semester and, once they are ready, taking courses at a community college or through Concurrent Enrollment at UC Berkeley.
-
Students are considered “Subject to Dismissal” if they’ve been “dismissed” or suspended once prior to Fall 2023 but are not dismissed following the current semester’s review. If they are unable to meet the requirements to return to good academic standing, they may be dismissed from the college.
-
Students are dismissed if, upon review, it is determined that they have not made adequate progress in meeting the conditions to return to good standing. Students who are dismissed from Fall 2023 onwards are not eligible for readmission to the College of Engineering; however, they still have the option to readmit to another college, such as L&S for example.
