[Oacrao-l] Reprieve Policy Interpretation and Implementation

[Skeel, Richard D.]

Jerry -

I think Jose has explained it well, as has Pamla.  Given the situation you described this student would not meet the requirements for a repreive because she has a grade lower than a C after the semesters which she would request to be reprieved.  The timing of the request for the reprieve really drives the situation, and if the student did not request a reprieve until after the summer 10 session was finished then they are simply not eligible.

Ok, I will jump from the pan into the fire.  We would not approve the reprieve because she now has an F since the semester for which she is applying for the reprieve.    Not knowing this student's situation, if she still have repeats available I would look to see if she does and, if so, tell her to repeat the class for which she got the F and if gets a C or better then she could apply and qualify for the reprieve.

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.

Jerry
