Academic Dismissal: Students who are on academic probation shall be subject to dismissal if they have earned a cumulative grade-point-average of less than 2.0 in all units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters. Students who are on academic probation and who earn a semester grade-point-average of 2.0 or better shall not be dismissed as long as this minimum semester grade-point-average is maintained. Progress Dismissal: Students who are on progress probation shall be subject to dismissal if the cumulative percentage of units in which they have been enrolled for which entries of W (Withdrawal), I (Incomplete), and NP (No Pass) are recorded in at least three (3) consecutive semesters reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%).

EVALUATION OF FOREIGN AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSCRIPTS Students who wish to receive course credit for college and university work completed in a foreign county or outside of the United States must have their transcripts evaluated if the transcript is in foreign language. It is also recommended that course descriptions be submitted along with the evaluated transcript, for courses that the student would like to receive credit. The process for receiving credit for Foreign/International Transcripts is as follows: 1. A petition must be submitted to the Admissions Office in AD-100 to request credit for the courses in question along with the evaluated transcripts. If you don’t know where to take your Foreign/International transcripts to be evaluated, the Admissions Office will provide you with a list of LACCD recognized companies that are authorized to evaluate Foreign/International transcripts. 2. It is advisable that you provide the Admissions Office with course descriptions, where possible, of the evaluated course work, or any catalog information that may expedite the evaluation process. Please refer to the university or college the course work was completed, to request course descriptions. 3. After your petition and transcripts have been evaluated, you will be informed of the outcome. If you do not agree with the outcome of your petition, you may petition the appropriate Department Chair. The decision of the Department Chair is final. CANCELLATION OF CLASSES The College reserves the right to discontinue any class with insufficient enrollment. CLASSROOM CONDUCT Instructors are responsible for presenting appropriate material in courses, and students are responsible for learning this material. Although it is a student’s academic performance that is evaluated in determining grades, student conduct is important in the academic setting. Enrollment in a class may be terminated due to unsatisfactory student conduct, undue disrespect toward an instructor or administrator, or academic dishonesty. Each student is responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which he or she is enrolled. POLICIES: ACADEMIC
