[Oacrao-l] Reprieve Policy Interpretation and Implementation

[Dela Cruz, Jr., Jose]

As stated in the e-mail thread below and in State Regents' policy, prior to requesting academic reprieve/renewal, the student must have earned a GPA of 2.0 or higher with no grade lower than a "C" in all regularly graded course work (a minimum of 12 hours) excluding activity or performance courses.  Because the student has failed a course before requesting the academic forgiveness, as it stands, she is not eligible for the reprieve.  However, if the student has not exceeded the four course limit under the repeated course provision, then she can repeat the course she failed earning no less than a "C" in the second attempt and become eligible for the academic reprieve.  See the policy interpretation below.

 

 

 

Regards, 

José

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Reprieve Policy Interpretation and Implementation

 

Ok guys, here the situation.  Maybe you can tell me how you would handle it.  This is a real situation which has divided camps and different points of view.

 

A student returned to school in spring 2010 after having been away for almost ten years.  She had a number of poor grades and especially in her two semesters before readmission in 2010.  During the spring 2010 semester, she took twelve hours and successfully earned three B grades and an A.  

 

She did not apply for the Academic Reprieve.  She clearly met the three year out of school requirement, earned twelve hours with no grade lower than a C and is pursuing a degree here.

 

The student signs up for two courses in the summer 2010 and withdraws from one and fails the other.

 

Now the questions and your decision.

 

Does she get to use the Academic Reprieve or has she blown her opportunity to apply it since she did not previously apply when she had the grades and has since received a grade that does not meet the requirements.

 

The two sides:

 

One side of the house says since she met the requirements, it does not matter what happened after spring 2010 and that failure to apply for the Academic Reprieve does not void her eligibility.

 

The other side says she must maintain successful grades of no lower than a C until she requests and has the Academic Reprieve applied  to her transcript.

 

How would you handle the situation at your institution?

 

Thanks for your responses.
