2022-2023 Undergraduate Bulletin

Freshman Forgiveness Policy

Effective September 1, 2020, the college will implement a Freshman Forgiveness Policy. This policy will apply to all lower freshman students, as defined below, who enrolled at the college in the Spring 2020 term or thereafter.  In accordance with this policy, if a student passes the suite of freshman courses, they will receive the grade earned which will carry the designated GPA. If a student fails a course or courses, upon request to the Registrar's Office, the failing grade (F, WU, FIN) will be administratively converted to “NC – No Credit,” and have no impact on the student's GPA. 

Note: As of Fall 2021, the grade of WU is not a failing grade and will no longer apply to the above policy.

For full details on this policy, see the main entry under Academic Standards >.Retention Standards  in this bulletin.
