1) I have been separated from the college for at least 5 years from
to , and

2) I have earned (at least) a 2.5 grade point average in all courses attempted through the term in which I completed the first twelve credits after re-enrolling from my 5-year separation. (This calculation and credit total does NOT include courses with grades of "S", "P", "U", or "R").

I understand that in receiving an Academic Renewal adjustment to my cumulative GPA:
_ An Academic Renewal adjustment may be granted only one time;
_ once granted by the college, Academic Renewal cannot be revoked;
_ although my cumulative GPA will be adjusted in future terms, all of my previously earned grades will still be shown on my permanent record;
_ any course credit with a grade of “D” earned during the Academic Renewal adjustment period will not count toward future graduation requirements;
_ An "Academic Renewal" notation will be made on my permanent record;
_ the granting of Academic Renewal does not affect any previous academic, financial, or administrative determination made by the college; and
_ other institutions/agencies may not utilize this policy in evaluating my record.
