A student who has not been enrolled at PCCUA for at least four consecutive semesters, excluding summer, may request academic clemency. Upon re-enrollment, the student may petition in writing to the Office of Admissions and Records 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. This petition and related academic records will be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Instruction for approval. 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. The student must earn sufficient additional credits to meet all degree requirements. Academic clemency may be granted only once and is not reversible.
Academic Clemency does not restore eligibility for Financial Aid, Scholarships or NJCAA Athletics.
