Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3341-3-69
Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) Policy statement and purpose
This policy describes the policies and conditions related to academic forgiveness for graduate students.
(B) Policy
(1)
Eligibility criteria: to be eligible for academic
forgiveness, the student must:
(a)
Be conditionally admitted to a new degree or
certificate program after an absence of a least one calendar
year;
(b)
Have a submitted academic forgiveness
request;
(c)
Earn a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in the first
nine graded graduate hours completed since returning (e.g., no S/U or audit);
and
(d)
Apply prior to the end of the semester following the
completion of nine graded graduate hours since returning.
(2)
Effects of an approved academic forgiveness: when the above
eligibility criteria have been met and the academic forgiveness request has
been approved, the following will happen:
(a)
All graduate
level grades earned at BGSU prior to reentry are excluded from the calculation
of the GPA (i.e., forgiven);
(b)
Each grade that
is subject to this policy will remain on the official transcript but will be
noted as "forgiven."
(c)
The student automatically forfeits the right to use any
of the excluded course work toward current or future degree or certificate
requirements.
(3)
Conditions:
(a)
Any academic honesty violations, probations,
suspensions, or dismissals from prior semesters will remain on the student's
academic record.
(b)
Any punitive grades awarded as the result of an
academic honesty violation will not be forgiven. These grades will continue to
be used to calculate the student's cumulative grade point average. Grades of S
or U will not have any impact on the student's grade point
average.
(c)
Courses taken during the student's time away from BGSU
cannot be transferred in toward current or future degree or certificate
requirements.
(d)
Academic forgiveness cannot be applied after a student
earns a graduate degree or certificate.
(e)
A student can
have academic forgiveness applied to their academic record only one time,
regardless of how many times they enter or attend graduate programs at
BGSU.
