Student Success Program

The Student Success Program consists of a number of services created to assist those who are in academic difficulty. These support services are suited for students who are on Academic Notice 2 (formerly Academic Probation) and subject to Dismissal and/or for those who have already been Dismissed from the San Mateo Community College District, which includes Cañada College, College of San Mateo and Skyline College. This is not designed to replace advisement with an academic counselor. 

Required Steps for Reinstatement

Step 1:  Meet with Academic Counselor

The student should meet with a Counselor to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP) to get the Form signed. Write a letter describing the circumstance which led to your dismissal, why you believe you can succeed at Cañada College. Indicate the specific changes you will make if reinstated. Contact the Welcome Center to schedule your appointment.

Step 2: Submit the Registration Clearance Form and letter to the Admissions & Records Office 

You can drop off a hard copy to to the Admissions & Records Office located in Building 9, First (1st) Floor or you can submit the Form online by clicking here.
