REQUEST FOR UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC RENEWAL

Student's name:____________________________________Student's ID number____________________

I am requesting that my record be considered for Academic Renewal.  I have read the criteria regarding this process and believe that I am qualified for Academic Renewal.  I understand that Academic Renewal only can be applied to course work that I completed at ISU five (5) full years or more before my current re-admission.  I understand that, if Academic Renewal is granted, only courses taken before my re-admission with grades of "C" or above will count and that all courses with passing grades lower than "C" will no longer count toward degree completion. 

I, ______________________________________, authorize the Dean of my College's intended program to request my transcript(s) from the Registrar, and to generate an Advanced Standing Form, for the purpose of initiating my request for Academic Renewal.  My intended program of study is _______________________________________.  (Transcripts of all college credit that I have completed at other institutions are on record in the Office of Admissions.)

If Academic Renewal is granted, I understand that the following conditions apply:

1.                  Five or more years must have passed between my last previous ISU enrollment and the current term of readmission and I must not have earned a degree from ISU;

2.                  Academic Renewal is granted only after completion of a minimum of 12 credit hours with a grade point average of 2.00 or higher;

3.                  Academic Renewal can occur only once, and it is irreversible;

4.                  My ISU transcript will indicate that Academic Renewal has been granted - D's and F's will

show on my transcript but not count in my GPA in the same manner as do repeated courses.  My recorded ISU cumulative GPA will start from the semester I was re-admitted to ISU (this calculation will not, however, affect GPA computations for graduation with honors);

            5.         All academic requirements in place at the time of readmission must be met.

            6.         My Dean (or the Dean's designate) will review my previous record and determine the

                        applicability of ISU courses that carry a grade of "C" or higher to my program of study;

            7.         The hours accepted for use from my current program will appear as part of the total hours

                        earned but will not count as attempted hours for my GPA; and

            8.         I must successfully complete at least 30 semester hours of course work at ISU following

                        my current re-admission.

I understand that all of the conditions as described will be applied to my case, with approval  of

Academic Renewal.
