Academic Clemency

A student who has not been enrolled at PCCUA for at least three consecutive academic years may request academic clemency. Upon re-enrollment, the student may petition in writing to the Vice Chancellor for Instruction to have grades and credits earned during one or more consecutive prior terms, up to a maximum of 24 credit hours, removed from the cumulative grade point average. If approved, all courses taken during the specified term or terms will remain on the transcript with the notation “academic clemency received,” but the grades will be excluded from GPA calculation. Credits earned in the clemency term(s) will not count toward graduation requirements. Courses passed during the clemency period do not need to be repeated; however, the student must earn sufficient additional credits to meet all degree requirements. Academic clemency may be granted only once and is not reversible.
