Academic Renewal

 

1. The Academic Renewal policy recognizes that a student's ability to succeed academically changes over time as life situations and maturity levels change. If approved, an academic renewal is recorded. A student eligible for consideration may apply for academic renewal by petitioning the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
2. Academic renewal will be granted only once at CCC.
3. Only one semester can be applied to academic renewal.
4. The student must be enrolled and have completed at least 12 hours with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA at the time of petition.
5. None of the credits completed in the semester for which renewal is petitioned will count toward a degree.
6. All "forgiven" coursework will continue to appear on the transcript but will not be included in the student's CCC cumulative GPA nor be counted toward a degree granted by CCC.
7. All paperwork must be on file with the Registrar and Financial Aid offices before any grades can be changed.
8. A petition for academic renewal will not be considered if the student has completed a degree from CCC.
9. Granting academic renewal does not affect or alter a student's record for athletic eligibility.
10. This policy refers to CCC only.

Students applying for Academic Renewal are responsible for investigating the
potential impact on Financial Aid, transfer admission, Veteran’s Affairs, and other
agencies and organizations.

The policy does not bind other institutions receiving a CCC transcript for transfer of academic courses. They may calculate students' transfer GPA to include all grades, even those excluded under this policy.
