Important–Your Academic Status at De Anza
Here's how to remove your registration hold
Dear Student,
We noticed that more than half of the course grades you've received through the end of last quarter have been W (Withdrawn), I (Incomplete) or NP (No Pass). As a result, you will need to complete a progress probation process that's designed to provide you with extra support. You also will have a registration hold placed on your student account until you finish the steps below.
- You are not alone. Many students have faced academic difficulties – sometimes due to personal, financial, health or family issues – and have succeeded in regaining their academic standing.
- We have confidence in you! We believe you can improve your course completion rate and achieve your goals at De Anza College.
Here’s how you can have your registration hold removed: You must meet with an academic counselor to discuss how you can improve your course completion rate, so you can get back on track with your academic goals. You can find the counselor for your program or Learning Community by checking the "Our Counselors" directory at deanza.edu/our-counselors.
Until your registration hold is removed, you won’t be able to register for classes, order transcripts or receive any certificates or degrees. In addition, students who are on progress probation for more than one quarter may lose their priority registration status and could lose eligibility for certain types of financial aid, such as the California College Promise Grant, or veteran’s benefits. (The Financial Aid Office and Veterans Resource Center can provide more information about eligibility.)
You can learn more about progress probation on the Probation Standards and Requirements webpage. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact your counselor.
Best wishes,
De Anza College
