To provide a reasonable means for students to appeal a past HutchCC academic record, the following procedures have been established.

Grade Expungement: A student may request a grade change to either change one grade in a semester or any combination of grades in a single semester to a grade of W (Withdrawal). Grade expungement can be granted only once at HutchCC.

Students who have shown academic progress by completing 12 hours with at least a 2.00 GPA at HutchCC or any other accredited institution may petition through the Grade Expungement Policy only for those courses taken three or more years ago.

Students can begin the grade expungement process by filing a written request with the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will review if the request aligns within the appropriate conditions.

Altered grades carry an appropriate notation and the date the expungement was granted. Courses excluded from grade point computation cannot be used to fulfill graduation requirements or to determine extracurricular activity eligibility.
