Academic Policies & Requirements < Mt. San Antonio College
Academic Freedom & Standards
Advanced Placement & Credits
It is the policy of Mt. San Antonio College to maintain and encourage freedom for its faculty, within the law, of inquiry, teaching and research, and the pursuit of knowledge. In the exercise of this right, the professor may discuss his/her subject or area of competence in the classroom, as well as other relevant matters, including controversial materials, so long as he/she distinguishes between personal opinions and what is contemporarily regarded as factual information by leading academicians in the discipline being discussed.
The professor shall use no material in any teaching assignment nor make any speech in order to incite students or others to unlawful acts or to create a clear and present danger to the students and/or the College and/or the community. Professors may not use the classroom to promote a particular religious belief. (BP 4030, AP 4030)
Academic Probation A student is placed on Academic Probation when the student has attempted at least 12 units and earned a cumulative grade point average (GPA) below 2.00
Progress Probation A student is placed on Progress Probation when the student has enrolled in a total of at least 12 units, and the cumulative percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled for which entries of "W", "I", and "NP" are recorded, reaches or exceeds fifty percent
Upon recording of Academic or Progress Probation, a student shall have their registration restricted, be required to participate in a prescribed counseling intervention and be limited to enroll in a maximum of 12 units in subsequent semesters, and 4 units in a winter or summer intersession, while on probation. (BP 4250, AP 4250)
Academic Probation The student shall be cleared from Academic Probation when the student's cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher
Progress Probation The student shall be cleared from Progress Probation when the student's cumulative percentage of units with "W", "I" and "NP" drops below fifty percent (BP 4250)
Dismissal occurs after three consecutive semesters of Academic or Progress Probation. The student shall be dismissed for at least two semesters. If the student has enrolled in the subsequent semester or intersession before the Dismissal status has been determined through the posting of the previous semester’s grades, the student shall be dropped from all classes.
A student who is subject to dismissal may request an appeal of dismissal through the Counseling Department by the stated deadline prior to the beginning of the following semester. If approved, the student shall be required to participate in a prescribed counseling intervention and complete a contract, which shall include the number of units in which the student shall enroll. If the student chooses not to make the request, or the request is denied, the student shall be dismissed for two semesters.
A dismissed student may request reinstatement through the Counseling Center after an interval of two semesters. Requests must be made no later than two weeks before the beginning of the Fall or Spring semesters only. Requests for reinstatement will not be allowed after the above stated deadline or for Winter and Summer intersessions. If approved, the reinstated student shall be required to participate in a prescribed counseling intervention and complete a contract for reinstatement, which shall include the number of units in which the student shall enroll.
A reinstated student shall remain on a probationary, reinstated status until clearance of probation and must see a counselor with an academic progress report for unit clearance prior to every registration period. A reinstated student shall also remain on contract until clearance of probation. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract may result in subsequent dismissal. (BP 4250, AP 4255)
Professors may take attendance at all class meetings. It is the responsibility of each professor to inform their classes of the attendance and absence policies at the beginning of each term.
Students may enroll in a maximum of 18 units each semester and up to seven units each summer and winter intersession. Students who have completed a minimum of 15 college units in a given semester with a grade point average of at least 3.0 and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 may petition for permission to enroll in units above the maximum.
Effective Summer 2014, new state regulations impact the registration date of students who have earned more than 100 degree applicable units at Mt. SAC. Students who have already surpassed or will have earned 100 or more Mt. SAC degree applicable units when registration begins for any term will be assigned a later registration date.
Students who have completed 100 or more Mt. SAC degree applicable units may file an appeal with the Counseling Center to keep their original registration date for the following term. The 100 Unit Appeal form can be downloaded from the Counseling website, Counseling Center Forms. There is a deadline for submitting the appeal for every term. The deadline date is noted on the appeal form. Forms are also available at the Counseling Center, located on the upper level of the Student Services Center (Building 9B). The deadline date is noted on the appeal form.
Students who wish to appeal have to schedule an appointment with a counselor to create an educational plan (MAP) which must be included with the appeal, and to clarify other requirements. Appointments can be scheduled online through the Counseling website, in person, or by calling (909) 274-4380.
It is the students’ responsibility to drop or withdraw from courses they no longer attend. Students should check their schedule/receipt, available on the “My Mt SAC” portal Link #11 for information regarding key dates. Dates vary and are often course specific. Failure to drop may result in a failing grade and/or fees owed.
Professors may not drop students from a class and students may not drop themselves from any class or withdraw from the college after 60% of the class has elapsed. All students who are registered for a class after 60% of the class has elapsed shall receive an academic grade (A, B, C, D, F, P, NP) or an Incomplete mark for the class.
Certain courses may be taken more than once for credit if the course is designated as repeatable. The course may be repeated for the number of times allowable. The following types of courses may be repeatable:
Intercollegiate academic or vocational competition courses that are designed specifically for non-athletic competitive events. Enrollment in a course or series of courses related in content is limited to four times, whether or not a passing grade is earned.
There may be financial aid implications for students who are recipients of Title IV and/or state funding. Federal and state law limits financial aid funding to two enrollments in a course, unless multiple enrollment of the same course is stipulated as required for academic program completion. Please seek guidance from the Financial Aid office for further clarification.
The college has grouped Families of Courses that are closely related active participatory courses in physical education, visual arts, or performing arts. Within any given course family, students are only permitted four experiences while attending Mt. San Antonio College. An experience is defined as enrolling in a course and receiving any letter grade (including D, F, NP or W). A Family of Courses may consist of more than four courses, but students are limited to enrolling in a maximum of four courses in any family. All grades, including W, will count toward the enrollment limitation of four courses.
Students can repeat courses that are included in Families of Courses in which a grade of NP, D, or F was earned or a W was assigned. However, all enrollments count toward the four enrollment maximum for each family of courses. Once a student has received four experiences in a given family, they will not be permitted to enroll in any other class within that family, even to alleviate a sub-standard grade.
These Families of Courses are listed below in the disciplines in which they apply.

Permanent membership in Alpha Gamma Sigma is an honorary lifetime AGS title for students who have completed 60 degree appropriate units; a minimum of 30 of the total 60 units must have been completed at Mt. SAC. A permanent membership application must be submitted by the graduation petition deadline. To apply, students must: a) have a cumulative G.P.A of 3.25 or higher for 60 completed degree appropriate units and b) complete a minimum of two semesters as an active or inactive member. Only permanent members receive recognition at graduation. Scholarships provided by the Zeta Chapter and the State Alpha Gamma Sigma Organization are available to actively involved members. Some baccalaureate granting institutions provide scholarships limited to Alpha Gamma Sigma members. For further information and review of academic eligibility and applications, students should consult an Alpha Gamma Sigma Officer or an Alpha Gamma Sigma Adviser. Contact information can be found here: https://agszetamtsac.weebly.com/
Mt. SAC sponsors the Alpha Omega Alpha Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, an international honor society for two-year colleges. To be eligible for membership, students must have completed a minimum of 12 transferable units with a 3.4 GPA.
Several advantages accompany this honor including recognition at graduation and access to scholarships offered to members by hundreds of U.S. colleges and universities.

Educational records consist of those files maintained by the following offices: Admissions and Records, Counseling, Assessment, Financial Aid, Student Life, and those files maintained for individual students by departments.
Any student may file a written request with the Records Officer of the District (Dean, Enrollment Management) to remove information recorded in the student’s records which is alleged to be: 1) inaccurate; 2) an unsubstantiated personal conclusion or inference; 3) a conclusion or inference outside of the observer’s area of competence; or 4) not based on the personal observation of the named person with the time and place of the observation of the named person noted.
The standard “unit” represents one hour in class recitation and two hours of outside preparation per week or its equivalent for one semester. By this definition, “unit” is synonymous with “semester lecture hour.” In laboratory work and certain activity courses such as kinesiology, choir, drafting, etc., a greater number of in class hours per week is required for each unit of credit. During summer and winter intersessions, one unit of credit represents three hours of lecture per week.
Full-time enrolled in 12 or more units in a fall or spring semester, or 4 or more units during a six-week summer or winter intersession
Part-time enrolled in less than 12 units during the fall or spring semester or less than 4 units during a six-week summer or winter intersession
Freshman a student who has completed less than 30 units of credit
Sophomore a student who has completed 30 units of credit or more
Scholastic grades showing the academic achievement of students are issued at the end of each term. Any student enrolled as of the first day of the fourth week in a full semester course for any term shall receive one of the designated grading scale marks on his/her permanent records.
Pass Passing (at least equivalent to a "C" grade. Units awarded are not counted in determining the student's grade point average.)
NP Not Passing (Equivalent to a "D" or "F" grade. No units awarded, and units are not counted in determining grade point average. No-Credit grades will be considered in probation and dismissal procedures.)
IP - In Progress The “IP” symbol shall be used to denote that the class extends beyond the normal end of an academic term. It indicates that work is “in progress,” but that assignment of a substantive grade must await its completion. The “IP” symbol shall remain on the student’s permanent record in order to satisfy enrollment documentation. The appropriate evaluative grade and unit credit shall be assigned and appear on the student’s record for the term in which the course is completed.
RD - Report Delayed The “RD” symbol may be assigned only by the Admissions and Records Office. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanent symbol as soon as possible. “RD” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages.
W - Withdrawal Withdrawal from a class or classes shall be authorized through the last day of the 10th week of instruction of a regular semester-length class. No notation (“W” or other) shall be made on the academic record of the student who withdraws during the first three weeks of a regular semester-length class. Withdrawal between the first day of the 4th week and the last day of the 10th week of instruction shall be recorded as a “W” on the student’s record. The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive “W’s” shall be used as factors in probation and dismissal procedures. Withdrawal from short term classes of less than regular semester length, but greater than six weeks, is authorized for a period of time through 60% of the course, and a mark of “W” shall be made on the student’s academic record. No notation shall be made on the academic record of a student who withdraws from a short term class of less than regular semester length, but greater than six weeks, provided the student withdraws no later than the end of the first 20% of the course.
MW - Military Withdrawal The “MW,” military withdrawal, mark shall be assigned only for students who are members of an active or reserve military unit, and who receive orders compelling a withdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such order, this symbol may be assigned at any time after the period established by the governing board during which no notation is made for withdrawals. The “MW” shall not be counted in determining registration priority, progress probation, and dismissal calculations. A “W” previously incurred commencing January 1, 1990, and which meets the definition of “MW” may be changed to “MW” (AP 5013). A student may petition for the MW by submitting a Petition for Exceptional Action along with documentation to the Admissions and Records Office.
EW - Excused Withdrawal The “EW,” excused withdrawal (effective Fall 2018) , mark shall be assigned only when a student is permitted to withdraw form a course(s) due to specific events beyond the control of the student affecting his or her ability to complete a course(s) and may include a job transfer outside the geographical region, an illness in the family where the student is the primary caregiver, when the student is incarcerated in a California State Prison or county jail, when the student is the subject of an immigration action, or other extenuating circumstances. Upon verification of these conditions and consistent with the district’s required documentation substantiating the condition, an excused withdrawal symbol may be assigned at any time after the period established by the governing board during which no notation is made for withdrawals. The “EW” shall not be counted in progress probation and dismissal calculations or toward the number of permitted withdrawals or counted as an enrollment attempt. A student may petition for the EW by submitting a Petition for Exceptional Action along with documentation to the Admissions and Records Office.
The Pass or No Pass (P or NP) grading option was designed to encourage students to explore subject areas of interest outside of their major areas of competence or known abilities without being overly concerned with a grade or with jeopardizing their grade point average and to afford an opportunity for departments to offer courses in which there is a diminished emphasis on grades.
Courses may be offered for Pass or No Pass in either of the following categories and will be specified in the catalog and schedule of classes:
Pass/No Pass Only Grade
Courses wherein all students are evaluated on a Pass or No Pass basis only.
Option of Letter Grade or Pass/ No Pass Grade
Courses in which each student has the option to individually elect Pass or No Pass or letter grade.
In courses offering the grading option, students are automatically registered on a letter grade basis at the time of registration. If a change is desired, the student can make the change on their student portal within the first 20% of the course or in person with a picture ID at the Admissions and Records Office located in the Student Services Center (Bldg 9B) within the first 30% of the course. The grading option is not reversible after the deadline to request a grade change has passed.
The student is held responsible for all assignments and examinations required in the course. The standards of evaluation are identical for all students in the course. A grade of “P” is earned for coursework equal to a grade of “C” or better. A grade of “NP” is earned for coursework equal to a grade of “D” or “F”. Neither “P” nor “NP” grades are used in computation of grade point average; however, P or NP units will appear on the transcript of record.
Students are advised that four-year institutions may limit the number of units acceptable for transfer completed with a P or NP notation. Students should investigate the policies of the institutions to which they may wish to transfer to determine the acceptability of P (Pass) grades in courses in the student’s major. Before selecting the pass or no pass option, students should consult with a counselor.
The permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner to ensure that a true and complete history of extra-institutional learning credit has been granted.
