The following student petitions
are available in the Admissions & Records Office, Counter

Petition to Change a Grade
If a student is of the opinion that a grade received for a particular
course is improper, the student may take action as follows:
1. Discuss the grade received
with the instructor involved, or
2. Obtain a Student Grade Review
Petition from the Admissions & Records Office. Complete
the form and return it for processing not later than the last
day of the semester (excluding summer sessions) following the
semester for which the grade was received. The student will
be issued a receipt copy of the form being submitted and will
be notified of action taken.
3. If a student wishes to appeal
the decision, the student may submit a written grievance; refer
to college catalog for grievance procedures.
Petition to Repeat a Course
Courses in which a student has received a satisfactory grade
generally cannot be repeated unless a student petitions to repeat
the course based upon one of the following exceptions:
1. There has been a significant
lapse of time since the course was last taken.*
2. The previous grade was,
at least in part, due to the result of extenuating circumstances
beyond the student's control.*
3. Course repetition is required
in a special academic accommodation for a qualified Disabled
Students Programs & Services student.*
4. A higher grade is required
in a specific course for acceptance into a specific academic
program or to receive national, state or local certification
or licensing in a specific field of endeavor.
*It is important to note that
in exceptions 1, 2 and 3 above, the grade cannot be counted in
a student's grade point average.
Petition for Reinstatement
Students who are dropped
from a class for the current term (either student drop or instructor
drop) may petition to be reinstated into that class. Petitions
for Reinstatement are available at the Admissions & Records
Office, Counter B.
Petition to Withdraw for
Extenuating Circumstances
In implementation of
Title 5, Section 55758, with this district, the following conditions
are defined as extenuating circumstances to the general application
of college drop-date procedures: documented cases of accident,
illness, death in the immediate family, military duty, jury duty,
family displacement, job displacement, instructor error and/or
other circumstances which are justifiable in the judgment of
the college president or his designee.
With the exception of a Withdrawal
from Classes based upon Military Duty, this petition can only
be used to withdraw after the last day to withdraw in a semester
(50% of class enrollment).
With only a few exceptions,
you must request to be withdrawn from all classes in which you
are enrolled. Exceptions are 1) physical or medical withdrawal
from a physical education class; and 2) short term class that
had been completed prior to the need to withdraw.
Deadline for petitioning: this
petition must be submitted no later than the end of the semester
following the semester in which the extenuating circumstance
occurred.
Approved withdrawals will result
in a "W" grade on the student's record.
Course Alleviation
Grades of D and F,
not reflective of the student's present scholastic level of performance,
may be alleviated and disregarded in the computation of grade
point averages. Course work that is still appropriate for the
student's present educational objectives may be alleviated only
by repetition. Course work being inappropriate for repetition
may be alleviated by the student making formal application to
the Admissions & Records Office, Counter B.
In this case, a student will
be eligible for alleviation when:
1. A period of at least two
years has elapsed since the work to be alleviated was recorded.
2. A student is currently enrolled
in an established program (associate degree or certificate program
in the district).
3. A student has completed
12 semester units with at least a 3.0 GPA or 24 semester units
with a least a 2.5 GPA or completed a total program with a 2.0
GPA or better. In determining eligibility for this provision,
the college will consider the most recently completed semester
first and look to previous semesters' total GPA in descending
chronological order.
4. The amount of work to be
alleviated shall not exceed the amount of work the student has
successfully completed since the substandard work was recorded.
When academic work is alleviated,
the permanent records shall be appropriately annotated in a manner
to ensure that all entries are legible and that a true and complete
record is maintained.
Petition for College Credit
Students wanting college
credit for Advanced Placement (AP) Program, College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP), Military Credit, and/or the 2+2 High School Program
must complete a Petition for College Credit at the Admissions
& Records Office, Counter B.
Credit Requirements include:
1. Attempted and passed with
C's in at least 12 units of college course work;
2. Supporting documents must
be submitted with the petition;
3. All previous college work
must be on file at Fresno City College prior to petitioning for
college credit.
Approved college credit units
will not change your GPA.
Petition to Withdraw for
Non-Attendance for Current Term Only
Students needing an adjustment to their enrollment record due
to non-attendance for the current term should complete this petition.
If non-attendance is verified by the instructor, student's record
will be adjusted as a non-attendance drop, resulting in appropriate
financial credits and removal of any "W" grades.
