You will be allowed to enroll in spring or fall courses if you comply with option "1" below. If you select option "2," you will regain eligibility to enroll for the spring or fall semester. (Note: These instructions are separate from any communications you may receive from the Financial Aid Office.)

1. Attend a Dismissal Reinstatement Workshop to be eligible for probationary reinstatement.

• Select a workshop from the enclosed schedule.

• Complete and return the enclosed workshop form to the San Luis Obispo Campus Counseling Office at least one day prior to the workshop you plan to attend. (No workshop reminder will be sent.)

• At the workshop, agree to adjust your spring or fall schedule of courses as recommended by the Cuesta College counselor.

• At the workshop, agree to the conditions of the Contract for Probationary Reinstatement.
