The petition process must be complete by the end of each full term add/drop period for the residency status and tuition rate change to become effective during the current term. If the petition process takes place after the add/drop period, the residency status change and tuition rate change will not become effective until the following term. Residency status cannot be changed retroactively. Students who are not eligible for in-state tuition based on the above requirements may still qualify for in-state tuition.

Course forgiveness is implemented when a student repeats a course and the higher/highest grade awarded (excluding the grades of W and WP) replaces all previous grades for that course in the computation of the cumulative grade point average. The official transcript will list the course and grade each time it is attempted.

When a student completes a course more than once, the highest grade will be counted in the GPA and all other grades excluded from the GPA. Official transcripts will list each course in which a student was enrolled.

A student may repeat a course more than once, but the course may be counted only once toward fulfillment of credit hours for graduation.

Note: Course Forgiveness may not be applied to NUR courses.

Course Forgiveness may impact the student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid eligibility and continued eligibility.
