GPA(espcially

for Grad

School!)

Grades, Repeating, GPA & Financial Aid

Be sure to balance your course load with your academic and life demands, to help maintain your GPA and your sanity

Most Graduate Programs require at least a 3.0 GPA (or higher GRE’s if below). Protect your major GPA!

Once on probation, if either your CSUN (or Overall) GPA drops below 1.85 you can be Academically Disqualified (i.e., kicked out, and possibly not able to come back for at least a year – in some cases it can happen if you go below 1.95)*

If either your CSUN or Overall GPA go below 2.0 you will be placed on Academic Probation (it may jeopardize your financial aid)

*Therefore, Disqualification could result even if entering with an almost 4.0 overall GPA, and then having a CSUN semester of C’s & C- followed by another 2.0 semester.


Repeating Classes – Grade Replacement Must be repeated at CSUN (Must wait until 2 days

before class to register Up to 16 units Classes with grades of C- or below only 2nd Time only, only one chance (if must take again,

will go into GPA) Forgiven but not forgotten (remains on transcript

although not calculated in GPA). Financial Aid will not cover repeats for passed

classes (i.e., any grade above an F). They may count against your Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation.


Financial Aid: Satisfactory Academic Progress1. Satisfactory Pass Rate – Ratio CSUN Units Earned (UE) to CSUN

Units Attempted (UA). Students must have passed at least 80% of all Units Attempted (UA). (Transfer units are not included in this calculation). Repeated CSUN course work are included, F’s, I’s, NC’s, W’s, and WU’s count as UA with zero UE).

Satisfactory Pass Rate = UE/UA ≥ 80%

2. Part Two: Satisfactory Grade Point Average – Students disqualified ineligible for financial aid based on grade point average standards. Students are not eligible for financial aid until they are officially readmitted to Cal State Northridge. Readmitted students must meet all other SAP policy standards

3. Unit and Time Limits – 150 attempted units (125 percent of units required to graduate) are the maximum

4. Other Provisions – See Financial Aid site (http://www.csun.edu/financialaid/basics/affects_satisfactory.php)

There opportunities to appeal, though limited.

Fees & Payment Options

Students must pay registration fees by deadline or be disenrolled (look for due dates when enrolling) Part time (0-6 units) – $2,111.00 * Full time (6.1-15 units) – $3,260.00 *

Installment plan is available If you are paying out of state tuition,

Degree Progress Reports & My Academic Planer

Need help getting your DPR or MAP?

Admissions & Records has “How To” guides that take you through a step by step

process.• Using the CSUN “Search” is probably the fastest way to get to them.• (You can also find them through the Registration Guide on Quick Links or in your portal in the My Path To Graduation section).

My Academic Planner & Degree Progress Reports

My Academic Planner (MAP) – (aka Interactive DPR)

Degree Progress Report (DPR)The DPR & MAP allow you to view all required classes. You can see what classes you need to complete your degree, the classes you have taken, and which transfer classes have

been evaluated. You should bring a DPR to

advisement.

My Academic Planer

• The MAP also is the quickest to determine prerequisites to classes in your major – they are linked to catalog descriptions which note any pre-reqs (especially helpful for majors with classes from many departments).


My Academic Planer


• The MAP can help you plan out the classes in your major and track your progress.

Reading a Degree Progress Report (DPR)

• CSUN equivalent course number

• The number of units

• The grade received

• The institution where it was taken

• The course name at this institution

• The course number at this institution


“OK” at the beginning of a section means that the entire section has been fully completed.


“NO” at the beginning of a section means that the entire section has not been fully completed


“+” next to a sub-section indicates that this requirement has been completed


“–” next to a sub-section indicates this requirement has not been met.

“IP” means “In Progress,” and shows that the final grade has not been sent or evaluated


Uncompleted sections will provide a list of possible courses to choose from


In most cases transfer students will still need to complete 3 classes (9 units) of Upper Division General Education.

•These classes can also fulfill GE sectional credit (e.g., Title V or Comparative Cultural Std; in some cases, the classes may count for your major.

•Select courses for professional development and/or balancing your schedule.

This area indicates how many units have been taken of the 120 units needed for graduation


Only 70 units from a community college can count toward the 120 units. However, additional community college coursework can satisfy degree requirements, and all will become part of total GPA.

This section lists courses that aren’t used for any specific requirement, however the units are still being counted towards the 120 total units needed for graduation


In order to graduate, students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in three areas:

• CSUN coursework (CSUN GPA)

• All coursework (Total or Cumulative GPA)

• Major Upper Division Courses
