Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 In any course of instruction in a community college district for which grades
					 are awarded, the instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be
					 awarded each student in accordance with this article. The determination of the
					 student's grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence of mistake,
					 fraud, bad faith, or incompetency.

					 may include, but is not limited to, clerical errors and errors made by an
					 instructor in calculating a student's grade.
(c) Procedures for the correction of grades
					 shall be consistent with Education Code section
					 76232 or
					 provide an alternative mechanism which will ensure that students receive a
					 reasonable and objective review of the requested grade change. If the procedure
					 requires the student to first request a grade change from the instructor,
					 provisions shall be made for another faculty member to substitute for the
					 instructor if the instructor is not available, the student has filed a
					 discrimination complaint or the district determines that it is possible there
					 has been gross misconduct by the original instructor.
(d) Procedures shall also include expunging
					 the incorrect grade from the record.
(e) When grade changes are made as a result
					 of course repetition in accordance with article 4 of this subchapter,
					 appropriate annotations of any courses repeated shall be entered on the
					 student's permanent academic record in such a manner that all work remains
					 legible, insuring a true and complete academic history.

					 to meet the major requirements of CSU or UC for completion of a bachelor's
					 degree. The governing board of a district must retain supporting documentation
					 that verifies that the repetition is necessary to meet the major requirements
					 of CSU or UC for completion of a bachelor's degree. The supporting
					 documentation must be retained by the district as a Class 3 record basic to
					 audit as required by section
					 59020 et seq.;
(2) Intercollegiate athletics, as defined in
					 section 55000; and

					 competition, as defined in section
					 55000, where enrollment in the
					 course and courses that are related in content, as defined in 55000, is limited
					 to no more than four times for semester courses or six times for quarter
					 courses. This enrollment limitation applies even if the student receives a
					 substandard grade or "W" during one or more of the enrollments in such a course
					 or petitions for repetition due to extenuating circumstances as provided in
					 section 55045.
California Code of Regulations › Title 5 - Education › Division 6 - California Community Colleges › Chapter 6 - Curriculum and Instruction › Subchapter 1 - Programs, Courses and Classes › Article 4 - Course Repetition and Academic Renewal › Section 55042 - Course Repetition to Alleviate Substandard Academic Work

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The district
					 policies and procedures on course repetition adopted pursuant to section
					 55040 may permit a student to
					 repeat a course in an effort to alleviate substandard academic work.
(b) If a student repeats a course which is
					 not designated as a repeatable course and receives a satisfactory grade, then
					 he or she may not repeat the course again pursuant to this section and any
					 further repetition of the course must be authorized by another provision of
					 this division. If a student repeats the course and receives another substandard
					 grade, the district policy may permit the student to repeat the course one
					 additional time in an effort to alleviate substandard work. District policy may
					 permit a student to petition to repeat a course for which three substandard
					 grades have been assigned, provided apportionment is not claimed pursuant to
					 section 58161. The first two substandard
					 grades may be excluded in computing the student's GPA if the student repeats
					 the class two or more times.
(c) If
					 a student repeats a repeatable course and a substandard grade has been
					 recorded, district policy may allow the previous grade and credit to be
					 disregarded provided that no additional repetitions are permitted beyond those
					 enrollment limits otherwise allowed by section
					 55041. No more than two substandard
					 grades may be alleviated pursuant to this section.

					 taken in an accredited college or university and for which substandard academic
					 work is recorded;
(2) indicate any
					 specific courses or categories of courses where repetition pursuant to this
					 section is not permitted; and
(3)
					 in determining transfer of a student's credits, honor similar, prior course
					 repetition actions by other accredited colleges and
					 universities.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In addition to permitting course
					 repetition in the circumstances described in other provisions of this article,
					 a district may also permit or require repetition of a course where the student
					 received a satisfactory grade the last time he or she took the course but the
					 district determines that there has been a significant lapse of time of no less
					 than 36 months since that grade was obtained and:
(1) the district has properly established a
					 recency prerequisite for a course or program pursuant to section
					 55003. or
(2) another institution of higher education
					 to which the student seeks to transfer has established a recency requirement
					 which the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating the course in
					 question. Pursuant to petition, a district may allow repetition where less than
					 36 months have elapsed pursuant to this subdivision if the student documents
					 the repetition is necessary for the student's transfer to the institution of
					 higher education.

					 district offers credit courses for variable units on an open-entry/ open-exit
					 basis pursuant to section
					 58164, the district policies and
					 procedures on course repetition adopted pursuant to section
					 55040 shall provide that a student
					 may enroll in the course as many times as necessary to complete one time the
					 entire curriculum of the course as described in the course outline of record.
					 District policy may not permit students to enroll more than one time in an
					 active participatory course in physical education, visual arts, or performing
					 arts pursuant to this section. District policy may not permit the student to
					 repeat any portion of the curriculum for the course, unless:
(1) the course is required for legally
					 mandated training;
(2) the course
					 is a special class for students with disabilities which the student needs to
					 repeat for one of the reasons described in section
					 56029;
(3) repetition of the course to retake a
					 portion of the curriculum is justified by extenuating circumstances pursuant to
					 section 55045; or
(4) the student wishes to repeat the course
					 to alleviate substandard work recorded for a portion of the curriculum as
					 authorized pursuant to section
					 55042.

(a) the
					 repetition is expressly authorized by another provision of this article;
					 or
(b) the student files a petition
					 and the governing board of the district or its designee grants written approval
					 of the petition based on a finding that the student's previous grade (whether
					 substandard or passing) was, at least in part, the result of extenuating
					 circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents,
					 illness, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. When course
					 repetition is approved pursuant to this subdivision, the district policy may
					 allow the previous grade and credit to be disregarded in computing the
					 student's GPA each time the course is repeated.
