Grade Requirements

In order to avoid academic probation or dismissal, you must maintain at least a C average (2.0 grade-point average) in:

  • all UC courses, including UCB Extension XB courses, UC Summer Sessions, UC Education Abroad Program (EAP), and UC Berkeley-Washington program (UCDC) courses,
  • all upper-division courses undertaken at Berkeley required for your major, and
  • all upper-division courses required for your major.

If you fall below a C average in your major, the department or committee in charge of the major may, at its option, drop you from the program. You would then have to be admitted to another major in order to continue studying in the college.

The following links provide certain options that may help you maintain your minimum grade-point average, as well as guidelines for students facing academic probation and/or dismissal:
