SDSU G funds the maximum amount of 750 USD for the Capstone project per each group.

A student is in good academic standing when his/her overall cumulative grade point average (GPA) is 2.0 or higher. If the GPA falls below 2.0, a student will be placed on academic probation. Being on academic probation means that a student's academic performance is below the state minimum required for graduation and that improvement is required. Students are placed on academic probation at the end of the semester when their cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 (less than a "C" average).

Students on academic probation must achieve a minimum SDSU grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 each semester or they will be immediately disqualified. If the semester GPA is at least a 2.0 while on academic probation, the student may continue on probation for a maximum of three semesters. Students who, at the end of the third semester, have not raised their SDSU and cumulative GPA to a 2.0 or higher will be academically disqualified.

Students on academic probation will be disqualified at the end of the fall or spring semesters if:
1. They earn less than a 2.0-grade point average (GPA) for any semester while on probation, or
2. if they still have less than a 2.0 GPA in all work completed at the end of their third semester on probation (not including summer).

According to the SDSU Georgia policy, the disqualified students cannot be readmitted.

There are numerous resources available to help you determine if you are on track to graduate. You are encouraged to meet with your academic adviser Nino Pantsulaia at [email protected] to discuss how well you are progressing towards the completion of your major and minor requirements

Your degree evaluation is your second most valuable resource after the General Catalog since the Degree Evaluation outlines all the requirements that you will have to complete before you graduate SDSU programs. You can view your degree evaluation online on SDSU MySDSU. The Degree Evaluation updates regularly as you satisfy your degree requirements and is referred to as a "living document". It is a great resource to help you track your progress toward degree completion!

A: All San Diego State University campuses utilize the informal and formal complaint process. The informal process is the easiest way to solve a problem quickly and effectively.

SDSU Georgia’s informal process is as follows:

1. Communication between student and instructor

This is the first course of action that students are encouraged to take. Often issues can be resolved with direct communication between a student and faculty members.

2. Communication with the Student Support Advisor (SSA)

The SSA can inform students about university policies and regulations, help students gather information and supplementary documentation, and can help connect students with an instructor if they are having trouble reaching them. If the concern is subject specific, the SSA can help connect students with the next step (department chair).  If the concern is not subject specific, the SSA will help connect students to the Associate Dean. Students may contact the SSA at anytime for advice on how to communicate effectively with their instructor. The SSA keeps a file of complaints so the Dean’s office can be informed about student concerns. You can contact the SSA at [email protected].

3. Department Chair

If the student complaint is subject specific, the Department Chair is the most appropriate person as they oversee faculty and courses in their department and may be familiar with subject specific student issues. 

4. Associate Dean

If the student complaint is not subject specific or if the student is not satisfied with the response from the Department Chair, the Associate Dean is the next person to consult in the informal process. The Associate Dean is familiar with student and faculty issues at SDSU and can provide guidance on university issues.

If a student has gone through the informal process and is still not satisfied with the result, they may contact the Ombudsman to start the formal process. Additionally, they may contact the Ombudsman at any point to seek assistance.
