Students can overcome\u00a0early struggles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Academic Senate<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Academic Senate met Nov. 17 and reviewed Board Policy 4240 as an information item dealing with Academic Renewal.<\/p>\n

BP 4240 reads, \u201cPreviously recorded substandard academic performance may be discharged if it is not reflective of a student\u2019s demonstrated ability. The AS of each college shall establish procedures that provide for academic renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n

A counseling handout explains that under Academic Renewal, \u201cA student may petition to have previous substandard San Jose course work such as D, F, NP grades and credits excluded from his\/her (transcript) GPA and units completed calculations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conditions apply; contact Rachel.Hagan@sjcc.edu of the counseling department for further information.<\/p>\n

In other actions the AS unanimously voted to oppose current proposed state legislation which would eliminate the Board of Governors Fee Waiver for students whose GPA is less than a 2.0.<\/p>\n

The possible loss of this BOG Fee Waiver would affect over 1200 students at San Jose City College.<\/p>\n

The next Academic Senate meeting will be Dec. 15, from 2:10 p.m. to 4 p.m., Student Center, room 204.
\nCameras on campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the mission statement which is undergoing edit and wordsmithing reads, \u201cThe mission of San Jose City College is to serve our students and the community by offering high quality, relevant and innovative instruction for the basic skills, career pathways, university transfer, and life-long learning by awarding certificates and associate degrees to students taught in a multicultural environment where student achievement and learning are supported.\u201d<\/p>\n
