Academic Renewal

The Academic Renewal Policy allows former Trinidad State students to apply for the establishment of a new academic record. A student may be granted an "Academic Renewal" only once, and the decision will be final if approved by the Registrar and accepted by the student. Call the Registrar’s office for additional information and clarification on this procedure.

Eligibility

  1. A student who has an academic record with courses older than two years from the current date is eligible for an Academic Renewal.
  2. A student must have all financial holds cleared before a request can be honored.
  3. Students can only apply for Academic Renewal once, which is not reversible.
  4. A student must have completed at least six credit hours with a 2.00 GPA before applying for Academic Renewal.

Procedures

  1. A student must submit a letter of request to the Registrar’s Office.
  2. The Registrar’s Office will check the student's transcript for eligibility and, if eligible, will compute an Academic Renewal GPA from the designated academic term and provide the student with an updated transcript.
  3. A comment will be placed on the transcript that states “Academic Renewal has been granted.”  

Guidelines

  1. The student's transcript will reflect the entire academic record, and no classes will be deleted or removed. Thirty credit hours can be excluded from GPA.
  2. Only grades earned after the Academic Renewal will be used to compute the new cumulative GPA.
  3. Only grades of “D’s” and “F’s” will be eligible for Academic Renewal.
  4. Academic Renewal will not change Satisfactory Progress for Financial Aid eligibility, and previous grades are subject to interpretation by specific Financial Aid Policy.
