Low Grades set aside:
The Low Grade Set Aside Policy allows you to remove poor academic records that no longer reflect
your current academic performance. Only petitions to set aside all grades in a particular quarter are
considered. This option is not available for singular courses within a quarter. Grades that are set
aside are not removed from the student’s transcript. Rather, an “*” notation is placed next to the grade
which indicates that the course will no longer be used when calculating a new cumulative grade point
average. Credits that are set aside can not be used to fulfill any requirements for graduation. Please
note that Federal Financial Aid regulations do not recognize grade “set asides.”
Students may only petition for a set aside provision for two quarters during their time at Wenatchee
Valley College. Students may petition to set aside a quarter which has 1) at least one grade that is a
C- or lower OR 2) where the quarterly GPA is below 2.0.
Thirty (30) credits of class work at WVC with a GPA of 2.0 or better is required as evidence of a
student’s changed scholastic performance. Exceptions to these procedures can be made by petition
to the Academic Regulations Committee. Only grades earned at Wenatchee Valley College can be
set aside under this policy.
Completed petition forms should be submitted to the Office of Admission & Records office located on
the first floor of Wenatchi Hall (Wenatchee) or the main office in the administration building (Omak).
List reasons for low grades; include statements indicating how your situation has changed to ensure
success in future coursework. (Continued from front)
