Polices and Procedures : Academic Renewal |
|
| Alleviation of previously recorded substandard academic
performance (D and F grades) completed at the American Samoa Community
College, which may not be reflective of a student’s current
demonstrated ability, will be considered upon submission of a petition
by the student to the Registrar’s Office. Upon approval by the
Dean of Student Services, the academic record of the student will
be so annotated, with the appropriate adjustments made to the grade
point average (GPA). All previously recorded work, however, will remain
on the transcript, ensuring a true and complete academic history.
The alleviated grade will be recorded as “AR” with the
original grade in parenthesis. A grade of “D” will appear
as AR(D). A maximum of 24 credits of course work can be alleviated.
This policy is applicable under any of the following cases: |
| 1. Completion of 24 credits at C (2.0) level or above
since the semester of substandard work. |
| 2. The passage of 4 years since the substandard work
was recorded. |
| 3. Demonstration that pre-recorded work is not reflective
of the student’s present ability. |
| Such evidence might include, but is not limited to,
documented proof of experience, awards, degrees and honors since the
notation of the substandard work. |
