In accordance with Executive Order 213, Academic Renewal, matriculated undergraduate students under specified conditions may petition to repeat courses for the purpose of academic renewal. Repeating courses for academic renewal means that the original grade of C-, D, F, or WU will be excluded from the computation of the grade point average. Only the grade received on the second attempt will be counted. Academic renewal must be approved at the time of registration in the course.

Starting in Fall 1994, students who were admitted to SJSU with less than 56 transferable units may take up to 18 units of coursework through Academic Renewal. If you were admitted with 56 transferable units or more, you may take up to 9 units of coursework through Academic Renewal. Any undergraduate, regardless of academic standing, may take courses for academic renewal. This option is not available to graduate students.

You may not sign up for academic renewal classes through
phone registration.
