Disregard of Previous Semesters' Work
In accordance with Executive Order 213, Academic Renewal, undergraduate students may petition for removal of previous term(s) work from degree consideration.
SJSU may disregard up to two semesters of course work when such action will permit the student to graduate with a baccalaureate degree without further matriculation.
To disregard up to two semesters of previous undergraduate work associated with the baccalaureate degree the student must furnish evidence that:
- The student has applied for graduation.
- The work completed in the term(s) under consideration is substandard and not representative of present scholastic ability and level of performance.
- Five years have elapsed since the most recent work to be disregarded was completed.
- There were extenuating circumstances which affected the level of performance.
- The student's GPA (overall SJSU, Overall, Major, or minor) is currently below a 2.0 and it would be necessary to complete additional units and enroll for one or more additional terms in order to raise the GPA sufficiently to qualify for the baccalaureate degree if the petition is not approved.
- The student has earned at least a 3.0 GPA in the recent 15 units at SJSU, or 2.5 in the past 30 units, or 2.0 in the past 45 units. Work completed at another institution cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.
Petition forms and specific details on the procedures to be followed are available at the Student Services Center and online at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms.
