Johnson County Community College
Series 300: Student Personnel
Section 314: Academic Policies

Students who have performed poorly in their first year or two at college and then withdraw or are dismissed, and who want an opportunity for a new undergraduate start at Johnson County Community College without the handicap of their prior academic record, may apply for Academic Renewal.

A student must petition the Student Affairs Committee for Academic Renewal according to the following guidelines:

  • All credits taken more than five years ago from any college or university must be dropped.
  • Course work to be disregarded must have been completed at least five years prior to applying for Academic Renewal.
  • At least 12 semester credits must have been completed at JCCC within the last two years with cumulative GPA of 2.0.
  • Academic Renewal will be granted only once.
  • Academic renewal does not affect or alter a student's record for financial aid awards or for athletic eligibility.
  • All previous course work and original grades approved for Academic Renewal will continue to appear on the student's transcript. However, the credits and grades will not be included in the student's cumulative grade point average when applying for selective admissions programs at JCCC, admission to honors programs or clubs governed by JCCC policy, and/or graduation from JCCC.
  • Credits dropped as a result of academic renewal cannot be used to meet course or program prerequisites.
  • Students must meet with a counselor prior to applying for academic renewal to ensure that interpretation of policy is correct.
  • This policy applies to the records at JCCC only. A student transferring from JCCC to another institution will have to follow the receiving institution's policy.
