Fresh Start Policy
You may attempt to improve your overall GPA by eliminating all previous
coursework from the GPA calculation.
To be eligible:
- You must be returning to Aims from an absence of two calendar years
or longer
- Fill out the Fresh Start Petition
- Meet with your advisor to discuss Fresh Start requirements and obtain
signature
- Return the form to Admissions & Records for processing by the first
day of class
All formerly earned grades will remain on your transcript, with notation
regarding the Fresh Start Rule. Students cannot choose which courses
are used for recalculation. Grades that will no longer be calculated
in your GPA will not count for credit toward graduation.
All recorded grades at Aims prior to and after Fresh Start will be
used to determine all academic honors. Some academic departments do not
accept Fresh Start toward their admission requirements for certain majors.
Please note: Fresh start can only be applied to an academic
record once. Once started, the Fresh Start program cannot be revoked.
In accordance with Department of Education regulations, all attempted
coursework is included to determine Financial Aid eligibility; no portion
of the academic transcript can be excluded. Contact Student Financial
Assistance for more information.
