Academic Renewal

Purpose

Use this form to improve your grade point average (GPA) by discounting substandard (D, F, or NP) grades in courses you will not be repeating for GPA improvement.

What to Expect

1. Meet with an academic counselor to start the eForm petition process. A counselor must review your account and determine if you are eligible; if you are, then a counselor will start the petition process.
2. Students need to approve the petition for staff to process requests.

Steps to Approve a Petition

1. Log in to eServices.

If all requirements are met and the petition is approved, then your college transcript will show that renewed units and grades have been discounted but renewed grades will remain visible on your transcript as required by state regulations. You will be notified of the outcome via your preferred email address in your student record.

Requirements

1. No more than 30 units of substandard (D or F) grades may be discounted through academic renewal between the Los Rios colleges.

   • If you have met the above requirements outside Los Rios, please submit official transcripts to verify you have met these requirements.
3. Academic renewal is not available for courses that have previously been used to fulfill requirements for a degree, certificate, or general education (AA/AS, CSU GE/IGETC) certification.
4. In some cases, "D" grades may have value for meeting local degree or certificate requirements. Please speak with a counselor for guidance based on your educational goals.
5. Acceptance of academic renewal and the adjusted GPA by other colleges and universities is at the discretion of the transfer institution.
6. Academic renewal is permanent and cannot be reversed. If approved, courses and grades will remain visible on my transcript but will not be calculated in the GPA.
