Scholastic Information and Regulations 43
Students with disabilities can repeat a special class for
students with disabilities any number of times when an
individualized determination verifies that such repetition
is required as a disability-related accommodation for the
student for one of the reasons specified in Title 5 § 56029.
For questions and assistance regarding petitioning for addi-
tional enrollments to alleviate a substandard grade or repeat
a class past the four experiences, see your college counselor.
CREDIT FOR ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS
GCC recognizes the Advanced Placement (AP) Program of
the College Entrance Examination Board. Course credit is
granted for AP Exams with a score of three or higher if the
division concerned has determined that the material cov-
ered is comparable to a specific course offering within that
division. AP credit may be granted for fulfillment of GCC’s
degree requirements, GE breath certification for the CSU,
and IGETC. However, when a student transfers to any other
college or university, that institution routinely re-evaluates
AP units in accordance with its own internal policies. Thus,
AP units remain intact and do not transfer as GCC courses.
For AP credit for transfer to a four-year college/university,
see the Transfer Center.
It is the student’s responsibility to petition for credit through
the Admissions and Records Office. Since several universi-
ties require a minimum score in order to receive subject
credit, students must discuss the applicability of AP credit
with an academic counselor prior to submitting a petition
to the Admissions and Records Office.
Units for which credit is given pursuant to the AP Exams
shall not be counted in determining the 12 semester hours
of credit in residence required for graduation.
Credit for AP will be granted only during the fall and spring
semesters to students who have successfully completed or
are enrolled in at least 12 units at GCC.
The maximum number of credits allowable for Advanced
Placement—including any Credit by Exam units—shall
not exceed 30 units. Credit by Exam transferred from other
institutions is counted toward this maximum.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Students currently registered in the college and are in good
standing and who believe they qualified by experience or
previous training, may apply to take a special examination
to establish credit in a course in which they are not formally
registered.
Students may not petition for credit by exam if they enrolled
in the course and received a letter grade of “I’’, “D’’, “NP” or
“F’’. Students may not petition for credit by exam for a course
if that course is at a lower level in the subject sequence than
a course for which the student has already received credit
through completion of the course.
Students may attempt Credit by Exam only once in a par-
ticular course. If a course has already been taken for credit,
it is not repeatable for Credit by Exam.

College Level Examination Program Policy (CLEP)
CLEP is designed to award academic credit to students who
have completed 12 or more semester units in residence at
GCC with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and have gained
the equivalency of college course work through means other
than enrollment in a formal college program.
Glendale College also grants credit for some of the various
subject exams. For amount and type of credit awarded contact
Admissions and Records or your counselor. Students transfer-
ring to other colleges and universities should check with the
receiving institution as to the awarding of credit for both the
general examinations and the subject examinations.
Units for which credit is given pursuant to these exams will
not be counted in determining the 12 semester hours of credit
in residence required for graduation, nor will CLEP credit be
used toward IGETC certification.
