Petition for Grade Renewal
Grade renewal is the process of excluding courses from the computation of the cumulative GPA. Courses subject to grade
renewal remain part of the student’s academic history and, as such, they are not removed from the student’s transcript. Grade
renewal cannot be done for “V” or “W” grades because those grades are already excluded from the calculation of the GPA.
If you receive financial aid, you may jeopardize your future eligibility to receive funding when requesting grade renewal. For
more information, please contact the Financial Aid office.
Grade renewal requests will be processed within five (5) business days. You can check the status of your request by viewing
your unofficial transcript on the SPSCC webpage. From the Current Students tab, look for the Student Records section, and
select Grades/Unofficial Transcripts.

Current students should monitor their SPSCC email address for any
inquiries regarding the grade renewal petition. If you are not a current
student, please indicate your personal email address instead.
Select One of the Options Below and Check the Appropriate Box
Option 1 - Grade Renewal for Repeated Courses (Specify Courses Below)
This option will exclude credits and grades from the computation of GPA for courses that you have repeated at SPSCC. Although
the lower grades will not be included in the calculation of the GPA, all grades will continue to appear on your transcript, and an “R”
will appear next to the lower grades that will be excluded from the calculation of the GPA.
Quarter During Which Lower Grade Was Received
Option 2 - Grade Renewal for Unrepeated Courses - Grade Forgiveness (Specify Quarter Below)
This option will exclude credits and grades from the computation of GPA for courses that the student has not repeated. Although the
courses will not be included in the calculation of the GPA, all courses will continue to appear on the transcript, and an “ * ” (asterisk)
will appear next to the courses that are no longer included in the GPA calculation. All grades (including passing grades) earned prior
to the quarter for which grade forgiveness is requested will also be excluded from the GPA calculation, and all credits earned for
those courses will also be lost. If these courses resulted in the awarding of a degree or certificate, the request will be denied.
In order to qualify for this option:
a) A period of two years has elapsed since the grades were earned, or you have changed your program of study.
b) Since earning those grades, your quarterly GPA is 2.5 or greater in any two (2) consecutive quarters completed at SPSCC.
c) You have not withdrawn from more than five (5) credits per quarter since the quarter for which you are requesting this option.
