Academic Amnesty Policy Undergraduate students who seek re-admission into one of the programs within a school following a two-year consecutive absence from Gwynedd Mercy University may petition their respective Dean to have their GPA reset at the time of readmission subject to the requirements of the specific academic program . Students are afforded one opportunity for academic amnesty .
Approval of academic amnesty requires both the approval of the Dean and the Provost / Vice President for Academic Affairs . If academic amnesty is approved , the GPA will be reset to 0.00 and the notation of “ Academic Amnesty ” will be recorded on the student ’ s transcript . Once enacted , the reset GPA cannot be reversed or modified . All prior courses and grades will remain on the student ’ s academic record and transcript . Gwynedd Mercy University courses completed prior to re-admission with a grade of C or above will be reviewed by the appropriate department in the same manner as courses transferred from colleges / universities outside of Gwynedd Mercy University to determine if and how the credits should be applied . Grades earned in these courses will not be calculated into the GPA . Loss of course credit ( s ) resulting from academic amnesty will not , under any circumstances , constitute grounds for a tuition refund . Students who are granted academic amnesty must meet all degree requirements for graduation at the time of re-application for admission .
