Students
Fresh Start Policy
Undergraduate
Catalog - Fresh Start Policy
Approved
by Faculty Senate June 4, 2007 and the Provost on June 11, 2007.
An undergraduate student who re-enrolls in the university after
an absence of three or more years may request the university
to recalculate the cumulative grade point average and hours earned
during the period of previous residency. This application must
be made through the dean or director of the student's enrollment
unit.
If
the application is approved, all courses taken remain on the permanent record;
however, only those courses with grades of A, B, C, or P are counted for credit.
No other grades are counted for credit as hours toward graduation or as meeting
either university general education requirements or program requirements.
If the
application is approved, the student resumes an academic program with no cumulative
grade point average for the period to which the Fresh Start applies.
For the purposes of scholastic action and advising, however, the student initially
is assigned to the same scholastic standing as when he/she last attended the
university. Thereafter, the student is subject to the conditions of probation
and dismissal that govern all students. Under the provisions of this rule, a student
must be re-enrolled before graduation for a minimum of forty-five quarter
credit hours and three academic
quarters after the Fresh Start has been applied to the
academic record.
All courses ever taken at the university
will be used in the calculation of the cumulative point-hour
ratio
required
for the purpose of determining graduation
with Honors.
A student is eligible for only one Fresh Start at the undergraduate
level.
Students who have earned a baccalaureate or an associate
degree from Wright State University are not eligible
for the Fresh Start at the undergraduate
level. |
