Academic Renewal
The Academic Renewal Policy allows University System of Georgia (USG) degree-seeking students who have experienced academic difficulty to have one opportunity to make a fresh start after an absence of three calendar years. Academic Renewal signals the initiation of a new grade point average to be used for determining academic standing and eligibility for graduation. The calculation of the renewal GPA begins when the student receives approval for Academic Renewal and includes all coursework taken since the student's acceptance. The academic renewal GPA will be displayed on the student's academic record including the official academic transcript. All previously attempted coursework and any previous academic suspensions and/or dismissals remain on the student's permanent record including the official academic transcript.
Undergraduate students who are transferring to a USG institution or are returning to a USG institution after a three-year absence may be eligible for Academic Renewal. Students who do not request Academic Renewal status at the time of re-enrollment must do so within one year after enrollment.
• Students seeking readmission to 果冻传媒 must be absent from the university for a minimum period of three years. Transfer credit for any coursework taken during the period of absence should be granted according to 果冻传媒's transfer credit policy.
• Students transferring to 果冻传媒 from an institution of higher education accredited by one of the accrediting commissions listed in the Accredited Institutions section of the Academic Information page in the Undergraduate Catalog may be eligible for Academic Renewal if there has been a minimum three-year absence required for Academic Renewal eligibility.
o Only coursework completed prior to the three-year period of eligibility can be considered for Academic Renewal.
o The period of eligibility is calculated from the date of enrollment at 果冻传媒.
o Courses taken more recently than the period of eligibility are ineligible for consideration for Academic Renewal. However, transfer credit can be granted for coursework taken during this period according to 果冻传媒's transfer credit policy.
For students who are granted approval for Academic Renewal, academic credit for previously completed coursework will be retained only for courses in which an A, B, C, or K grade has been earned, including any applicable transfer coursework. Retained grades are not calculated into a student's GPA. Applicability of retained credit to degree requirements will be determined by the degree requirements currently in effect at the time Academic Renewal status is granted to the students. Specific institutional program regulations must also be met, such as minimum GPA based upon all attempted coursework, since reentry into any academic degree program is not automatic. Courses with D, F, or WF grades that are required in the student's degree program must be repeated at 果冻传媒. No transient credit for these courses will be accepted. Students who wish to earn a degree must satisfy 果冻传媒 residency requirements after approval for Academic Renewal is granted. At least 50% of coursework toward a degree must be completed at 果冻传媒 after the granting of Academic Renewal status for a student to be eligible for honors at graduation. The granting of Academic Renewal does not supersede financial aid policies regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
