51±¬ÁÏÍø

Undergraduate Catalog

New Start Policy

This policy is designed for former 51±¬ÁÏÍø students with a severe cumulative honor point deficiency who have not attended 51±¬ÁÏÍø for a minimum of three years.

  1. Former 51±¬ÁÏÍø students who have not attended 51±¬ÁÏÍø for at least three years may petition the Council on Admission, Graduation, and Academic Standards (CAGAS) to have prior grades excluded from subsequent grade point average calculations. Such appeals must be received and approved prior to the student’s reentry to 51±¬ÁÏÍø.
  2. All hours earned will count toward total hours for graduation.
  3. All students must have at least a C average in all 51±¬ÁÏÍø courses counted toward the major and the minor for graduation.

The New Start provision may be exercised only once, and all grades that a student has received at 51±¬ÁÏÍø will be used to determine class rank and honors. Any student under this policy must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours after returning to 51±¬ÁÏÍø to qualify for graduation. All courses taken and grades earned will appear on the transcript.
