6705. ACADEMIC RENEWAL.
Students may petition for an academic renewal action in order to alleviate substandard academic
performance under the following conditions:
A. Students must have achieved a grade point average of 2.5 in their last 15 semester units, or 2.0 in
their last 30 semester units completed at any accredited college or university, and
B. At least one calendar year must have passed since the course work to be removed was completed.
Granted, academic renewal shall result in:
A. Eliminating up to 30 semester units of coursework taken within the Los Angeles Community
College District from consideration in the student’s cumulative grade point average, and
B. Annotating the student academic record to note which courses have been removed through
academic renewal. Academic renewal actions are irreversible.
Graduation honors and awards are to be based on the student's cumulative grade point average
for all college work attempted.
