Counseling Forms

This process allows substandard grades to be disregarded in the computation of your cumulative GPA if the work was not reflective of your current scholastic level of performance.  Alleviated work will always remain on your official transcript, and it shall be annotated in a manner that all work remains legible ensuring a true and complete academic history.  Only the units and grade points will be alleviated. 

Academic Renewal Options:

• Option 1- Alleviate the entire semester when semester GPA is below a 2.0.
• Option 2- Alleviate individual substandard grades (D or F) within the semester.

Eligibility:

• A maximum of three semesters can be alleviated.
• A period of one year has elapsed since the work to be alleviated was completed.
• A student must have completed, since the work to be alleviated, at AHC or another accredited college/university:
  • 18 semester units with at least a 2.4 GPA, or
  • 24 semester units with at least a 2.0 GPA 

To file an academic renewal, you are required to meet with a counselor.  A counselor will determine your eligibility and file the form on your behalf.  If you attended another college, all official transcripts must be submitted to the Admissions and Records Office before meeting with a counselor.
