It is to the student's benefit to repeat a class in which he/she received a grade of D or F in order to raise the GPA. In order to satisfy major requirements, and General Education Requirements for CSU Breadth and IGETC, the student must have a minimum of “C” grade in all courses. If you received a grade of D or F in a course, you may enroll in the course again. After you successfully complete the course, you should fill out the “Request to Count the Higher Grade” and submit it to the Office of Admissions and Records so the original grade of D or F will not be calculated in your grade­point average.

Take advantage of the Career Center to assist you in selecting a career goal or major if you are undecided.

As a student, you are responsible (not the instructor) for withdrawing from class(es) in which you are officially enrolled. The student should drop the class using MyGCC. If you fail to attend a class in which you are officially enrolled and do not drop the class, you may receive a failing grade. If withdrawal from a full-term course occurs within the first two weeks of the semester, no grade will be recorded on your permanent academic record. If you withdraw from a full-term course between the third week of instruction through the end of the tenth week of instruction, you will receive a grade of "W" on your permanent record. You may not drop or withdraw from classes after the end of the tenth week of instruction. Be sure to check the "Important Dates" in the class schedule or in your student portal - MyGCC.

Deadlines vary for short term classes.
