Academic Renewal Policy 314.07

JCCC NOTICE - March 25 : In response to the stay-at-home order issued by the Johnson County government, JCCC has modified its operations and moved all coursework online for the remainder of the spring semester. All in-person events are cancelled; student resources are available online. For updates related to COVID-19, visit jccc.edu/covid19 MORE

March 25, 2020 - 3:15 p.m.

While access to the JCCC campus is closed, coursework will continue. All current JCCC spring 2020 classes will finish the semester online; all class work resumes Monday, March 30. All student support resources have moved online as well; check the student resources page for details.

Classes that include hands-on and lab work that cannot be completed online will complete that work on campus beginning June 1, provided JCCC is cleared to reopen general access to campus. Students will complete hands-on spring 2020 course objectives from June 1 – June 26.
Faculty members in classes with hands-on components will notify students if their course requires work that would be completed in June.
Students should verify with their instructors that they understand the plans for their respective classes.
Last day to drop for spring 2020 full-term courses has been moved to May 1 from April 15.
Pass/Fail option policy for spring 2020 has been modified to allow students to take more than one course as Pass/Fail. The process must be completed by Thursday, April 30, and requires students complete an online meeting with a JCCC Counselor to determine if this is the best option.

Additional enrollment services information is available on the student resources page.

Students should log into Canvas for specific instructions for each course they're enrolled in (see Online Learning).

Reminder: If you develop symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath), please contact JCDHE at 913-477-8343.

Section: Academic Policies

Academic Renewal, if approved by JCCC, allows students with coursework five (5) years old or older an opportunity to exclude that coursework for select purposes.

To be eligible to apply for Academic Renewal, the student must have completed at least 12 credit hours at JCCC within the last two years with a JCCC cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.
Coursework eligible for Academic Renewal must have been completed at least five (5) years prior to the application for Academic Renewal.
Academic Renewal:
- will be granted only once and once granted cannot be reversed,
- will not change the GPA calculation on the official JCCC transcript. Coursework approved for Academic Renewal will continue to appear on the transcript with the original grades.
- does not alter the student’s record for financial aid awards or for athletic eligibility.
Coursework approved for Academic Renewal will be manually excluded from the cumulative GPA totals only for select purposes such as determining eligibility for graduation and selective admission programs at JCCC.
If Academic Renewal is approved by JCCC, all credits (from all colleges or universities) five (5) years old or older will be excluded in these manual recalculations. The student may not elect to include certain courses in this timeframe and exclude others.
Courses excluded as a result of Academic Renewal cannot be used to meet course prerequisites or program requirements.
This policy applies only at JCCC.
