Credits must be completed by the third semester after re-entry. The Application for Academic Renewal is submitted by the student to the dean of the college offering the major. The dean specifies in advance a minimum of 12 hours. When the approved credits are completed with a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher, and no grade lower than C in each course, the dean forwards the Application for Academic Renewal to the Office of the Registrar for processing. Only students working toward their first undergraduate degree are eligible to apply for academic renewal, which may be effected only once during a student s academic career.
Academic renewal is transferable among colleges.
All students with ASU GPAs below 2.00 are eligible to petition for academic renewal. Individual colleges may elect to entertain petitions for academic renewal from students with ASU GPAs above 2.00. College standards committees have final authorization on academic renewal petitions. Eligibility for graduation is based on the ASU cumulative GPA after academic renewal. However, a student s complete record-before and after academic renewal remains on the transcript and may be taken into consideration when a student applies for undergraduate professional or graduate programs.
