Academic Renewal

All course work taken at RRCC is reflected on your permanent transcript; however, you can petition to remove up to 15 credit hours of substandard grades earned from your cumulative grade point average (GPA). Before submitting the required written request, you must have been out of school for two years after the substandard course work was completed and you must have completed a minimum of six credit hours of new course work at RRCC with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Only courses taken prior to your two-year absence (see above) are eligible for this process. You may petition only once to remove grades and credits from your cumulative GPA. Once Student Records has removed these grades and credits from your cumulative GPA, they cannot be reinstated or used for any degree or certificate. The grades and credits will still appear on your permanent academic transcript. Credit hours earned for courses eliminated from your GPA for Academic Renewal will remain deducted from your remaining COF stipend eligible hours and will count toward your attempted hours, and impact your financial aid eligibility.
