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 seven 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 policy is limited to one entire semester of coursework or 12 total credits of coursework.
4. Courses granted forgiveness will still have the original grade appear on the student's transcript, however, the grades for these courses will not factor into the student's cumulative grade-point average.
5. The student must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee (SSC) for permission to be readmitted to the college.
6. The SSC 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.
7. 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 through the Rutgers School of Business-Camden Academic Services Office. All forms are to be submitted to the RSBC
Academic Services Office.
