Academic Forgiveness

Academic Forgiveness establishes an effective way to encourage capable, mature students to return to ESU after they have achieved poor grades during an earlier attempt at pursuing a degree at ESU. It applies to all undergraduate readmitted students who have not taken any coursework at ESU within the last three calendar years before the readmission semester. Forgiveness is only available for courses taken at ESU where grades of below a “C” were earned. Academic Forgiveness may impact a student’s state and federal financial aid eligibility. Students must obtain the Academic Forgiveness form in the Admission office. The completed form is returned for review to the Registrar in the Student Enrollment Center. This policy is in effect for Fall 2013 and can be used by incoming readmitted students only.
