As a senior (90 + units) - 1.95.
Students are dropped from classes; no longer a continuing
student; and no access to myCI
What if I think my grades were
incorrect?
 Course Grade Appeals
 6-step process – must be initiated within the first
seven weeks of the following semester
 If grade found to be error, and it changes
academic standing, you will be reinstated;
disqualification removed.
 If grade changed due to late assignment turned
in after grading, contact
[email protected] for further
information.

must demonstrate academic ability by
completing additional coursework at CI,
eliminating grade-point deficiency.
 Your cumulative and/or CI GPA must be at a
minimum 2.0 GPA to be considered for
reinstatement.

university?

How to Find Your Attempted
Units and GPA
The following 3 slides explain how to find the
aforementioned – separated by 2 groups of students (refer to
the one that applies to you)
Group 1 – you have only attended CI or your overall
cumulative GPA is deficient
 Group 2 – you have attended another school and multiple
semesters at CI, and your CI GPA is deficient

Group 1: You have only attended CI or
your overall cumulative GPA is deficient
 Your attempted units are located under the CUM TOTALS
(ex. 68 attempted units)


If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math
95), deduct it from your attempted units total
Your CI/CUM GPA will be noted next to CUM GPA (ex. 1.58)
Group 2: If you’ve attended another school,
and your CI GPA is deficient
 You will need to add the attempted units located under the
TERM TOTALS for every semester you’ve attended CI [ex. 7 +
10 - 1 (CR class) = 16 attempted units


If you have taken a CR/NC class (excluding Math 94 or Math 95),
deduct it from your attempted units total
Find your CI GPA in My Academics “Current Academic Summary”
How many classes do I need to take
to reach a 2.0 GPA?
Go to the CI website
Under Search CI (top right corner)
Enter GPA Calculator
1. Enter “Desired GPA”: 2.0
2. Enter your “Current GPA”
3. Enter your “Attempted Units (To
Date)”:
4. Enter your “Total Units (This
Semester”) {what you’ll take this
excluding CR/NC classes}
To figure out what is needed to reach
a 2.0 GPA . . .



Once you enter Desired GPA, Current
GPA, Attempted Units & Total Units,
you will get the Average GPA needed
to get off probation for this semester.
Enter this GPA (ex. 2.47) on your
Disqualification Action under the
Average GPA needed to reach a 2.0
At the bottom, it will show you the
average grade you need to receive (ex.
B- average)
To figure out what is needed to get a
2.0 GPA . . .
If you will be repeating a class . . .
1.
Choose the “Units” the class is
worth
2. Choose the “Grade” of the class you
are repeating
3. Then press calculate.
*Repeating classes improves GPA faster
What If It’s Not Possible to
Attain a Semester GPA to reach a 2.0?

Change the Total Units (This Semester)


This will help you figure out how many classes
you will have to take to reach a 2.0.


Increase to 18, 21, 24
Make note of how many classes you’ll need to
take on your Disqualification Action Plan.
Depending on what you can afford, it can take
you a few semesters to reach a 2.0.
Repeating a Class
 Quickest way to raise GPA (especially for F, IC or WU
grades).
 May repeat up to 12 units at CI for grade forgiveness.
 2nd attempt (grade) will replace 1st attempt.
 Beyond 12 units, 12 additional units will be grade
averaged into the GPA for a total of 24 units that can be
repeated.
 May only be used on grades of “WU”, “F”, “D-“, “D”,
“D+”, “C-“ or “IC”.
 May not be used on grade of “C” or higher, “I” or
failing grade as a result of academic dishonesty.
 Individual classes can only be repeated once
 Classes have to be repeated at CI for grade forgiveness
Conditions for Repeating Classes
 Required class in your major, and major
requires “C” or better
 You know you could be successful in the
class, if you spend enough time studying or
go to tutoring
 You do not have to repeat the class with the
same professor, (unless he/she is the only
one who teaches the class)
When Not to Repeat a Class
 You have changed your major
 You will spend 50% of your time on this class
– just to get a “C,” and would only have 50%
of time left between your other classes
 You are positive you cannot pass said class
even with extra tutoring
 You have already repeated the class once
