Academic Amnesty Mohave Community College permits students to have up to two consecutive terms of 100-and 200-level coursework excluded from figuring in their academic standing, cumulative grade point average, and eligibility for degree or certificate completion. Academic amnesty can be granted only once, is irrevocable, and applies to ALL 100-and 200-level courses in the entire term, no matter what the grade (A-F).

Since all amnesty designated grades remain on the student’s transcript, other educational institutions may consider all coursework listed on the transcript when a student transfers.

The coursework to be amnestied must have been taken at least five years previous to the time of the request. Example a petition for courses taken in the Fall semester of 2010 cannot be submitted until the end of the Fall semester of 2015.

This request cannot be processed if the student is indebted to the college in any way.

Withdrawal period A period in which students may withdraw from enrolled courses. Students who withdraw from courses during this period are financially responsible for the course.

Zero-Level Courses Zero-level courses are pass/fail (S/U) graded courses and are not intended for college transfer. They do not count toward degree or certificate requirements and are not part of the grade point average calculation. However, zero-level courses may be required prior to enrollment into a course(s) needed for graduation. This would be determined by assessment testing and degree/certificate requirements.
