Academic Policies

Cancelled Semester Policy

The Cancelled Semester Policy permits students returning after significant separation from the university to delete from the Cumulative Grade-Point Average (CGPA) calculation the results of one particularly unfortunate semester. A student who has not been enrolled in four consecutive semesters and the intervening summer sessions may apply upon application for readmission or within one year of readmission for the application of this policy to any single semester completed before readmission. While readmission may be based on the application for cancelled semester, the transcript record will reflect this only after the student is enrolled and attending. [For cancellation purposes, a semester is defined as any semester of enrollment, whether full or part time, with sessions in a single summer together constituting one semester.] All grades—passing, failing, withdrawals—in that semester must be cancelled from the CGPA. There is no abridgment of the transcript; the courses and grades remain visible on the official transcript. Credit toward graduation remains for those credits associated with passing grades. A student may never cancel more than one semester from his/her CGPA under this policy.
