CREDIT COURSE REPETITION, REPEATABILITY AND FAMILIES
REPETITION VS. REPEATABILITY
Repetition occurs when a student who has previously received a grade in a particular credit course re-enrolls in that same course and receives another grade (CCR §55023). Title 5 regulations specify the circumstances under which a student may repeat a course (CCR §55040-45, 55253, 56029).
Repeatability occurs when a student repeats speci c credit course(s), designated by the Foothill-De Anza Community College District as repeatable (CCR §55041). ese speci c, repeatable courses have limitations on how many times a student can repeat the course (see course description). Per Title 5 regulations, the maximum number of times a student can repeat a credit course in a quarter system is six times, even if the student receives a substandard grade or a “W” during one or more of the enrollments, unless otherwise speci ed.
CREDIT COURSE REPETITION
Credit course repetition is regulated by state guidelines as described in Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR §55040).
Students are limited to a maximum of three enrollments in a course unless otherwise speci ed in the course description.
Students may only petition to repeat a course beyond the maximum allowed enrollments under the following conditions:
■ Alleviating substandard academic work (CCR §55042)
■ A signi cant lapse of time (5 years) since the last time the
student was enrolled in the course (CCR §55043)
■ Legally mandated training for employment or licensure
(CCR §55000)
■ Extenuating circumstances (CCR §55045)
■ Students with disabilities who require a disability-related
accommodation (CCR §56029)
CREDIT COURSE REPETITION
(with sub-standard grade or withdrawal)
Students may only repeat a course, for a maximum of three enrollments, in which any combination of a sub-standard grade ("D", "F", "NP" or "NC") was received or the student withdrew from the course with a “W.”
CREDIT COURSE REPETITION
(with standard grade)
Students may only repeat a course, when a standard grade ("A", "B", "C", "P" or "CR") was received if the course speci es repeatability (see course description).
CREDIT COURSE REPEATABILITY
De Anza College only designates the following types of credit courses to be repeatable per Title 5 (CCR §55041):
■ Courses for which repetition is necessary to meet the major requirements of CSU or UC for completion of a bachelor’s Degree
■ Intercollegiate athletics
■ Speci c courses designated as Special Education and meet
the criteria set forth in Title 5
ese courses clearly state the terms of the course repeatability in their course descriptions.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATORY COURSE LIMITATIONS
(Course Families)
Per the California Community College Board of Governors, a student may not have more than six enrollments in any active participatory courses that are related in content. is limitation also applies to students who receive a substandard grade ("D", "F", "NP" or "NC") or withdrew from a course with a “W” for one or more of the enrollments (CCR §55000).
Active participatory courses included in this restriction are courses in physical education, visual arts and performing arts o ered within the Foothill-De Anza Community College District.
Both Foothill and De Anza colleges have created “Course Families” within the District to address this limitation. ese families include courses from Foothill and De Anza that have been determined to have related or contain similar content, and therefore, can only be taken in any combination for no more than six enrollments.
Prior to fall 2013, students were able to repeat active participatory courses. However, as of fall 2013, all active participatory courses are non-repeatable and can only be taken one time subject to the limitations set forth in Title 5 (CCR §55040(c).
is limitation does not contain a grandfather clause.
erefore, if a student has reached the maximum times of enrollment within a family, then he or she cannot enroll in any course within the family again within the Foothill-De Anza Community College District.
Additionally, if a student enrolls in a De Anza course that is equivalent to a Foothill course, within a course family, s/he may not take the Foothill course at any time, and vice-versa.
For example: ARTS 4B at De Anza is equivalent to ART 4B at Foothill. If a student has taken or plans on taking ARTS 4B at De Anza, then that student cannot have taken or plan on taking ART 4B at Foothill.
