The purpose of this proposal is to
establish a viable mechanism for facilitating the return of capable, mature,
undergraduate students to the college after academic dismissal for poor
performance, or simply dropping out during an earlier attempt at higher
education in the college.
The spirit of this policy is to
provide students who have been separated from college for dismissal, or
dropping out during the middle of a semester, with a second opportunity
for pursuing a baccalaureate degree from the college. The forgiveness aspect of
the policy is intended to remove the impact of a poor semester average on the
cumulative grade-point average. It is intended that this policy be applied to a
student's academic record only one time.
There are five considerations in the
proposed forgiveness policy:
1. The student must have been
matriculated in the college for at least two successive semesters.
2. The student must have been in a
nonregistered status for at least 10 successive semesters and have a cumulative
grade-point average of below 2.00.
3. The student must petition the
Committee on Scholastic Standing for permission to be readmitted to the
college.
4. The Committee on Scholastic
Standing will review the petition and remove, by way of E prefix, from the
cumulative average all of the grades and degree credits from one semester of
poor academic performance or a maximum of 12 credits from more than one
semester.
5. Upon receiving permission to reenroll, the
student will be required to achieve a semester average of at least 2.500 and to
maintain a cumulative average consistent with that specified in the catalog for
remaining in good academic standing.
Students can obtain the necessary forms to apply for academic forgiveness at
