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 complete the Academic Forgiveness Form and return to the Student Enrollment Center for review before the start of the readmit semester. This policy went into effect Fall 2013 and can be used by incoming readmitted students only.
