Returning Students
Students who wish to apply for academic amnesty are highly recommended to work with a college advisor to discuss academic amnesty. Students must submit an application to the Office of the Registrar.
The application will be reviewed by the Registrar (“Approving Registrar”) to ensure that the student meets the eligibility requirements; if not, the application will be returned to the student with no further action taken. The Approving Registrar will retain the application in the student’s academic record, approve the student’s application, and apply academic amnesty only after the student fulfills all eligibility requirements, including successfully completing at least one (1) term upon his/her return.
Current Students
Current CCC students who meet all eligibility requirements may apply for academic amnesty.
- The student had a previous period of five (5) or more consecutive calendar years (minimum 15 academic terms) where the student did enroll or earn a final grade in credit bearing coursework at CCC.
- Upon their return after the break in enrollment (initial term(s) of enrollment), the student completed a minimum 6 credit hours, excluding any development education coursework) and earned a term grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher.
Student Applies for Academic Amnesty at a Different CCC College
If a student applies for academic amnesty from a different CCC college than where previously enrolled during the Amnesty Period, upon approval (prior to updating the student’s record), the Approving Registrar will notify the Registrar at any college where an “F” grade was earned (i.e., for courses that will be granted academic amnesty).
