It is the intention of the Governing Board that students shall have reasonable opportunity to repeat courses when such repetition furthers achievement of the student鈥檚 educational objectives and is in accordance with the provisions of the California Education Code. It is not, however, the intent of the Governing Board to allow students to repeat courses that have been successfully completed with a grade of A, B, C or P. Course repetition is permitted for substandard work, extenuating circumstances and/or significant lapse of time as described below. The courses listed below are repeatable under Title 5 regulations as follows:
Title 5 of the California Code of Education Section 搂55041. Repeatable Courses.
(a) Districts may only designate the following types of courses as repeatable:

The supporting documentation must be retained by the district as a Class 3 record basic to audit as required by section 59020 et seq.;
(2) Intercollegiate athletics, as defined in section 55000

Substandard Work
A student may repeat any course in which a substandard final grade (D, F or NP) was earned, or for which the student withdrew (W). If the course is offered at both colleges within the district, the student may repeat the course at either college. A course may be repeated only TWICE under this policy. If a student does not pass the same course twice (with an A, B, C, or P), he or she must submit an Academic Appeals petition in order to register for that class again. The student鈥檚 permanent academic record shall contain all work attempted and depict a legible, true and complete academic history. In course repetition for substandard work the grade earned in the last enrollment shall be exclusively in determining the units attempted, completed and grade points earned. However, the original substandard grade will remain on official records, though annotated as a repeated course. No assurance can be provided that the repeated courses will be treated in this manner by other institutions.
Extenuating Circumstances (for successfully
completed courses)
Students who have successfully completed a course but wish to repeat it, must submit a petition to the Academic Appeals Committee and provide substantial evidence of extenuating circumstances (i.e. verified case of accident, illness or other emergency situations) for granting such a repetition. Grades awarded for courses approved for such repetition shall not be included in calculating a student鈥檚 grade point average.
Course Families
There are groupings of courses with similar content called 鈥渇amilies鈥� in the PE, Art, Theatre, and Music disciplines. West 十分六合彩 and Mission College鈥檚 family of courses are linked and students may only take 4 courses within a family whether the course is offered at West 十分六合彩 or Mission College. Refer to the table in the online schedule, campus catalog or consult with a counselor to review the full list of 鈥渇amily鈥� courses.
