ACADEMIC INFORMATION & STANDARDS
Petition for Reinstatement
A student who has been placed on academic suspension may petition to the Dean for Student Services (or designee) in writing, stating the reasons why the academic status and stated restric- tions should be waived or changed. A petition will be considered after a minimum one semester waiting period. The petition is to be submitted at least one week prior to the semester for which enrollment is requested. If reinstatement is approved, the student will be placed on academic probation (AP) and progress will be reviewed at the end of each semester. The decision of the Dean for Student Services (or designee) is final.
Academic Renewal
Academic Renewal allows a student who experienced academic difficulties during earlier attendance at Yavapai College to have grades for a particular period of time excluded from the calculation of the grade point average. All courses and grades remain on the student’s permanent academic record.
Conditions:
• Before applying for Academic Renewal the student must complete at least twelve credit hours of academic course work with a grade of “C” or better in each course.
• Application for Academic Renewal may be made after a two-year waiting period from the last semester to be considered for renewal.
• Academic Renewal is granted on a semester basis, not on a per course selection basis. The student may have a maximum of four consecutive semesters (including summer) of course work disregarded in calculations regarding academic standing, grade-point average, and eligibility for degree or certificate completion.
• Academic Renewal may be granted only once during a student’s academic career at Yavapai College and may not extend to other institutions.
• If a student’s application for Academic Renewal is approved, the student’s permanent record will be annotated to indicate that no work completed during the disregarded semester(s) or term(s), even if satisfactory, may be calculated in the grade-point average or applied to completion of certificate/degree requirements. Academic Renewal is not available to students who have already completed requirements for a certificate or degree. Since the student’s complete record (before and after Academic Renewal) remains on the transcript, other institutions may consider all course work when a student transfers or applies to pro- fessional or graduate-level programs.
Procedures:
1. The student application for Academic Renewal must be obtained from an academic advisor.
2. The student’s academic advisor must sign the form and attach a copy of the student’s
transcript and forward to the Office of the Registrar.
3. The application must be approved by the Registrar. If approved, the Registrar will update the students transcript.
