Effective spring quarter 1969, the Irvine campus deleted all scholastic notations from
students' official records. Beginning fall quarter 1979 "Academic Disqualification" or
"Dismissed" has been noted on appropriate student records.
The notation "Deans Honor List" was introduced spring quarter 1972 for undergraduate
students who complete 12 or more graded units in a quarter with a GPA of 3.500 or better.
Beginning winter quarter 1970, courses completed by "Limited" status students were at
the post baccalaureate level.
An I grade (Incomplete) assigned fall 2010 and after will convert to an F, NP, U, as appropriate, when coursework is not satisfactorily made up by the student.
Undergraduate students are normally subject to academic probation if at the end of any quarter
their grade point average for that quarter, or their cumulative University of California grade point
average, is less than 2.0.
