Loss of Enrollment Priority and/or BOGW Fee Waiver Appeal Processing Instructions
LOSS OF PRIORITY REGISTRATION:
Per Title 5, Section 58108 Regulations of the California Community College System, your calculated academic standing will impact
your assigned registration date for future semesters. A second consecutive term (fall/spring semesters) on academic or progress
probation will result in the loss of continuing student priority registration. This will also apply to any student over 100-unit limit
(excluding non-degree applicable and ESL courses). This means you would register after all continuing and new students thereby
possibly losing your opportunity for the courses you need to meet your educational goal.
LOSS OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS FEE WAIVER (BOGW):
Please be aware a student that continues on a second consecutive term (fall/spring semesters) on academic or progress probation
will result in the loss of the BOGW Fee Waiver.
