Academic Renewal Policy
- The semester(s) work to be considered for a renewal may have been completed at any accredited college or university.
- At least five years must have elapsed between the period in which the semester(s) being requested renewed was/were completed and the renewal request.
- Prior to requesting Academic Renewal, the student must have earned a GPA of 2.00 or higher with no grade lower than a "C" in all regularly graded course work (minimum of 12 hours excluding activity and performance courses) completed since the renewed semester(s).
- The Academic Renewal removes all grades earned during the renewed semester(s) from the retention and graduation GPA. All work in the renewed semester(s) will be counted in the cumulative GPA.
- Credit earned during a renewed semester(s) will not count as hours earned or credit towards graduation. A minimum of 124 semester hours is required for graduation excluding the renewed semester(s). Beginning in the Fall 2004 Semester, a minimum of 120 semester hours is required for graduation.
Note: Honors standing at the time of graduation is determined by calculating the GPA using all hours attempted. Academic Forgiveness Provisions do not apply to Graduate courses.
