Academic Renewal

A. Rationale

Academic renewal provides an opportunity for students to have their grade point average recalculated. The recalculated GPA will use all of those courses completed within the last six years and those courses prior to the six-year period wherein a "C-" grade or better was obtained.

B. Policy

1. The applicant for academic renewal must be a currently enrolled undergraduate student or must have been enrolled during the previous term. Students who are not currently enrolled and who cannot obtain financial aid until their GPA is recalculated using Academic Renewal should begin the process with Academic Records and take written evidence of the initiation of this process to the Financial Aids Office.

2. Academic renewal may be requested only once during a student's academic career.

3. Once a certificate, associate, or bachelor degree is awarded by Weber State University or received as a transfer credit, any Weber State course(s) completed prior to the completion of that certificate or degree will not qualify for academic renewal. However, WSU courses completed after receiving a certificate or associate degree, but before completion of a bachelor degree, are eligible for renewal if they meet the requirements listed in 4-20.A, 4-20.B.1 and 4-20.B.2.

4. The policy does not apply to g Graduate students or students pursuing a second bachelor's degree are not eligible for academic renewal.
