2012 Fall Semester (PDF) - Los Angeles City College

GRADES & GRADE CHANGES
The Los Angeles Community College Board of
Trustees has approved the following grading
policies and academic standards as required
by California law. Please be aware of these
policies and standards as they can have serious
consequences if not followed. The Admissions
Office and the Counseling Office will be happy to
answer any questions you might have regarding
these policies and standards. • Section 76224(a)
provides: When grades are given for any course of
instruction taught in a community college district,
the grade given to each student shall be the grade
determined by the instructor of the course, and
the determination of the student’s grade by the
instructor, in the absence of a mistake, fraud, bad
faith, or incompetency, shall be final.
No grade may be challenged by a student more
than one (1) year from the end of the term in which the
course was taken, provided that if a college’s academic
senate has determined that the period of time during
which grades may be challenged should be more than
one year, such longer period shall apply at that college.
(Title 5, CAC, Section 51308) Petitioning Evaluative
Or Non-Evaluative Grade Symbols Students must file
petitions in the Admissions Office for any evaluative or
nonevaluative grade symbol change. Inquiries regarding
results of grade petitions or instructor complaints should
first be directed to the faculty member responsible for the
course. If resolution is not reached, the inquiry should be
directed to the appropriate academic department chairperson
and/or area Dean. If resolution is not reached at
the departmental or area Dean level, inquiries should
be made to the campus Ombudsperson, at (323) 953-
4000 ext. 2280.
pASS/NO pASS OpTION (p/Np)
The College President may designate courses
wherein all students enrolled in such courses are
evaluated on a pass/no pass basis or wherein
each student may elect on registration or no later
than the end of the first 30% of the term whether
the basis of evaluation is to be pass/no pass or a
letter grade. These courses are noted elsewhere
in this schedule as being eligible for the pass/no
pass Option.
pASS/NO pASS COURSES
Pass/no pass courses do not fulfill prerequisites for
more advanced courses. The student must meet all
class standards. A maximum of 15 units of pass/no
pass grades may be applied toward the Associate
Degree. Courses offered on this basis are listed
