ACADEMIC RENEWAL PETITION


El Camino College will be closed starting 5:00 PM Thursday, December 21, 2023 and will reopen for business at 8:00 am Tuesday, January 2 2024. Forms submitted during this time will not be processed until the office reopens. The standard processing time for your form will start from when we reopen.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU MEET ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR ACADEMIC RENEWAL BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR PETITION

A student may petition to have up to 30 semester units of substandard work (D, F or WF grade assigned) taken at El Camino College disregarded in the determination of the grade point average (GPA), subject to limitations as follows:

1. The student must have completed a minimum of 12 semester units with at least a 2.0 GPA at a regionally accredited college or university.

2. At least one major semester (Fall or Spring) must have passed since the substandard grade(s) was awarded. Winter Intersessions and Summer Terms do count as semesters.

3. If another accredited college has removed previous course work through academic renewal, such action shall be honored by El Camino College and will not disqualify the student from being granted Academic Renewal at El Camino College.

4. Course work with disregarded grades may not be used to meet degree or certificate requirements.

5. If a student has received an associate degree or certificate or General Education Certification at El Camino College, academic renewal may be allowed for D or F grades upon petitioning through the Admissions and Records Office and reviewed by Admissions and Records.


Academic renewal actions are irreversible.

The student’s permanent academic record shall be annotated to indicate all disregarded course work, but all grades shall remain legible to ensure a true and complete academic history.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that any institution or program to which he or she is applying will accept Academic Renewal from El Camino College.

***Please note, the NCAA will not honor Academic Renewal for athletic eligibility purposes.
