UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY
Undergraduate Academic Forgiveness Policy
Academic forgiveness may be available to students who have grades lower
than "C" in courses taken ten or more years ago. Once Academic
Forgiveness has occurred, the course cannot count towards student’s
degree. Low grades in required courses
need to be repeated to improve a student's grade point average.
Undergraduate Academic Forgiveness Procedure
Conditions: This privilege can be exercised only once in the pursuit of an undergraduate degree from Robert Morris and cannot be reversed.
Only courses that were taken ten or more years before applying for
forgiveness can be forgiven
Grades of A,
A-, B+, B, B-, C+, and C cannot be forgiven.
If a
required course on a student’s checksheet is forgiven, due to academic
regression, the student will be required to take a substitute course in its
place to meet graduation requirements.
Procedures: A
student may request the application of the Academic Forgiveness Policy to his/her
academic record by submitting a written request to the Academic Services Office.Upon
approval of the request:
- All courses, credits, and
grades forgiven will be retained on the academic transcript, but will be
bracketed with notation "[Academic Forgiveness Policy in
Effect]."
- All credits and quality
points for courses forgiven will be disregarded in the cumulative
calculation of hours attempted, quality points earned, and quality point
average/likewise the total
credits will be reduced by credits forgiven.
