ACADEMIC RENEWAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
ACADEMIC RENEWAL BOARD POLICY 4240
It is the policy of El Camino College to allow previously recorded substandard academic work to be disregarded if it is not reflective of a student’s more recently demonstrated ability and if repetition is not appropriate to the current objectives of the student.
A student may petition to have up to 24 semester units of substandard work (D, F or WF grade assigned) taken at El Camino College disregarded in determining the student’s grade point average. Procedures for implementing the policy will be developed with collegial consultation with the Academic Senate, as defined in CCR Title 5, Section 53200.
This policy supersedes the section of BP 4220 dealing with Academic Renewal.
Academic Renewal Academic Procedure 4240

Academic Renewal actions are irreversible.
Students requesting Academic Renewal may obtain an Academic Renewal Petition in the Admissions & Records Office.
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.
If another accredited college has removed previous course work from associate in arts or bachelor’s degree consideration according to terms of that institution’s policy, such an action shall be honored by El Camino College.
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.
These procedures supersede the provisions of BP 4220 dealing with Academic Renewal.
