Academic Renewal

Academic renewal provides an opportunity for former students with poor academic records to resume their studies without the burden of the previous grade point average (GPA). Former students who have not attended Lander for at least three years and who have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) below a 2.0 may wish to consider applying for academic renewal.

Students seeking academic renewal must complete an Application for Admission the semester prior to enrollment, be admitted to the University, enroll, and then complete the Academic Renewal form after the first day of classes and before the last day of classes for the first term of study following the absence. Students approved for academic renewal will be placed on academic probation but have the benefit of resuming their studies at Lander with a GPA of zero. Academic renewal may be granted only once, is irreversible, and disqualifies the student for graduation with honors.
