Any student who meets the following criteria may
submit, in writing to the Office of the Vice President
for Instruction and Student Services, a request
for academic forgiveness.
| • |
The
student must have experienced a lapse in enrollment
at SCC for a minimum of 24 months or two academic
years. |
| • |
Upon
returning, a minimum of twelve semester hours
of curriculum courses must be completed with
a GPA of 3.00 or greater. |
| • |
The
request for forgiveness should must be submitted
during the subsequent semester (excluding
summer) after the 12 semester hours have been
completed. |
If
the request is approved, all grades within the
requested review period/consecutive terms will
be forgiven and cannot be used for GPA (Grade
Point Average) computation for credits earned
toward graduation requirements. Any forgiven work,
if needed for completion of a certificate, degree,
or diploma, must be retaken. All grades will remain
on the student’s transcript; however, they
will not be factored in the computation of the
total GPA.
