I have reached the maximum number of course repeats allowed for application to upper division and am no longer eligible to continue in my major. A petition for academic bankruptcy has no retroactive effect on previous academic determinations or sanctions, nor can a student repeat bankrupted courses. I repeated a course and failed it on both attempts. Yes, provided that the course was taken in consecutive semesters and that no more than 18 credit hours total are included in the bankruptcy petition. Because of my low QPA, I am no longer eligible to receive financial aid.
Academic bankruptcy has no retroactive effect.
However, an academic bankruptcy declaration may help a student regain aid eligibility sooner. See a financial aid counselor to review your specific situation. I know someone whose cumulative QPA went from 1.7 to 2.8 after she filed for academic bankruptcy. Anyone reviewing the student's transcript, including graduate school officials and prospective employers, will see the entirety of the student record and is free to disregard a declaration of academic bankruptcy in making admission, employment or similar decisions.
