UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC AMNESTY
Effective: May 11, 1998
PURPOSE
To provide academic amnesty or pardon to former FIU undergraduate students
who have a history of inadequate academic performance and who want to
be readmitted to the University.
AUTHORITY/SOURCE
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
POLICY
FIU undergraduate students who have not been enrolled in any university
or college for at least six calendar years may apply for academic amnesty.
If re-admitted, students will begin with a new grade point average of
0.00. No grades previously earned will be included in the University
grade point average; however, credit for previous University courses,
in which a grade of >C= or better was earned may be applied toward
a degree, subject to determination by the college of the student's major.
All prior courses attempted and grades received will be on the students
transcript. Admitted students may not petition for any retroactive change
in their academic record. Students applying for academic amnesty to
a limited access program, must meet the admission criteria of that program.
PROCEDURE
Students must follow the regular readmission application process with
a written request to be considered for Academic Amnesty to be determined
by the student's academic dean. Students admitted under academic amnesty
and who do not register for the semester approved, must reapply for
any future term.
