Admissions and Records
Exclude Failing Grades
If you previously received a "D", "F", "NC", or "NP" in a course at Fullerton College and have repeated it, you may request to exclude the substandard grade(s) from your GPA calculation.
On repetition, the last grade earned will count toward the grade point average and the previous grade(s) will be discounted or forgiven. Only the first two substandard grades within the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) may be excluded from GPA calculations.
The student's permanent academic record will be annotated such that all course work taken and forgiven or repeated remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history.
Note: Courses deemed comparable based on a matching C-ID number may not be used to exclude a substandard grade of another course.
Fullerton College reserves the right to adjust repeated courses without a Course Repeat Adjustment Request Form before processing any student-initiated petitions, graduation applications, and/or GE certification requests.
Refer to the College Catalog for complete information on course repetition and grade alleviation.
