    • If a program requires an overall GPA that is higher than a 2.0, a petition may be submitted to reduce the overall GPA requirement, but it may not be reduced below 2.0.
  • Undergraduate students may replace up to two courses (maximum of 8 credit hours) for grade replacement
  • A student whose cumulative GPA is below a 2.0 is placed on academic probation. This status is noted on the student's permanent academic record and continues until the next evaluation opportunity. A student may not petition to have the standing removed from their record.
  • Students are assigned registration times according to student classification and cumulative hours earned. Students may not petition for an earlier registration time.
  • Students cannot use forgiveness or grade replacement AFTER their degree has been awarded.
