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. This would apply
only to courses that do not apply 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.
Grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, and C cannot be forgiven.
The grades
and Cumulative QPA after forgiveness will be used in determining eligibility
for all academic honors and recognition based on quality-point averages.
Students may
be required to take substitute courses to meet graduation requirements.
Procedures: A student must submit letter of Academic Forgiveness 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.
