Academic Probation

If your Valencia term GPA falls below 2.0 for two successive terms, you will be placed on academic probation resulting program dismissal and no longer eligible to enroll in Valencia courses. You may return to Valencia to pursue your educational goals after high school graduation.

High School Academic Standards

If your high school cumulative GPA falls below a 3.0, your Dual Enrollment participation will be suspended. Your school counselor must notify the Dual Enrollment Office when your unweighted high school GPA returns to a 3.0 or higher to be reinstated.

Withdrawal Policy

Dual enrollment students are permitted one withdrawal during participation in the program. Receiving more than one withdrawal will result in dismissal from the program.

Students should meet with their professor and Student Success Coach before withdrawing from a course. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from a course(s) on or before the published Withdrawal Deadline listed in the Academic Calendar.

Students who withdraw from a course but are enrolled in other courses for the term are expected to complete the remaining registered courses.

Students receive a warning email after the first and only permitted withdrawal.

Students and counselors are notified when the student has accrued more than on withdrawal and is dismissed from the program.

Students are welcome and strongly encouraged to return to Valencia after high school to improve their college GPA and complete their educational goals.
