NUMBER 4 Second class postage paid at Conway, Arkansas (USPS 519-920) ACADEMIC CLEMENCY Act 1000 of 1991 (78th General Assembly, State of Arkansas) encourages institutions of higher education to adopt programs of academic clemency. As outlined by Act 1000, a student, after a separation of several years, may petition the university to have previously earned grades and credits excluded from the calculation of the student's cumulative grade point average. The policy of academic clemency applies to all students meeting the conditions below. Purpose This policy is intended to provide a second chance to the student who, having left college after an unsuccessful experience, grows to appreciate education and, having been out of college for an extended period, seeks admission or readmission. Eligibility ● An individual will not have been enrolled in any institution of college or university rank for a period of at least five years (60 months) immediately preceding enrollment or re-enrollment at the University of Central Arkansas. ● An individual will be an undergraduate student seeking the initial undergraduate degree (associate or baccalaureate) from the University of Central Arkansas in order to be eligible for academic clemency consideration. Process ● Application for academic clemency should be made at the time of conditional admission or readmission to the university. A conditionally admitted student who fails to meet the requirements for the granting of academic clemency will not be eligible to continue at the university. ● Application for academic clemency will be made through the Office of the University Registrar. The application will be reviewed and the appropriate decision rendered by the University Registrar. ● In order for academic clemency to be granted, a minimum 2.0 grade point average and a minimum of 12 semester credit hours must be earned within one calendar year from the date of enrollment or re-enrollment. Terms and Conditions ● Under academic clemency an individual forfeits all grades and credits (including transfer) earned prior to the minimum period of non-enrollment, and such grades and credits will not be considered in any academic deliberations from that point forward at the University of Central Arkansas. ● Courses on which academic clemency is granted will be recorded on the permanent academic record but will not be used in the computation of the cumulative grade point average. The notation academic clemency granted (date) will be placed on the permanent academic record to identify those courses excluded from computation in the cumulative grade point average. ● In regard to financial aid history, state and federal regulations take precedence over the institutional policy of academic clemency. ● In regard to athletic eligibility, all semesters/terms of attendance, including any of granted academic clemency, will be considered in the determination of athletic eligibility certification. ● A declaration and granting of academic clemency may be exercised only once in an individual's academic career, and such declaration and granting is final and irreversible. ● Policies related to academic clemency pertain to the University of Central Arkansas only and might not be honored by other institutions for admission to undergraduate programs, admission to graduate programs, or admission to professional programs.
