xxxxxxx Academic Policies, Procedures & Support Services<br />
If another accredited college has acted to remove previous coursework from consideration in computing the grade<br />
point average, such action shall be honored in terms of its policy. However, such units disregarded shall be deducted<br />
from the thirty (30) semester unit maximum of coursework eligible to be disregarded at <strong>Feather</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Students requesting removal of previous coursework for certificate or degree consideration must file a petition in the<br />
Admissions and Records Office. The petition shall outline the term or consecutive terms of coursework to be disregarded<br />
and shall include evidence verifying (a) that work completed during this period is substandard, and (b) at least twelve<br />
(12) months has elapsed since completion of most recent coursework to be disregarded.<br />
The Chief Instructional Officer shall act on the petition and return it to the Admissions and Records Office for entry of the<br />
proper annotation on the student’s permanent record. Academic renewal actions are irreversible.<br />
NOTE: This policy does not apply to the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. The Financial Aid<br />
Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements must be met for students to qualify for financial aid. Students may submit<br />
financial aid appeals directly to the Financial Aid Office for reinstatement of their aid eligibility if the enrollment records<br />
exceed the maximum units for their program of study, or their GPA drops below 2.0.<br />
