Northeastern State University

Academic Forgiveness Policy

NSU has adopted a three-part Academic Forgiveness Policy that

1. Allows students to repeat a maximum of 4 courses (up to 18 semester hours) of “D” and “F” grades and have only the last grade earned used in the calculation of the retention and graduation GPA;
2. To apply for an academic reprieve for up to two consecutive semesters of course work under certain circumstances; and
3. To renew their academic career after an extended absence under circumstances that warrant a fresh start.

Requests for repeated courses, academic reprieve, or academic renewal must be submitted in writing on the appropriate form to the Office of the Registrar at Northeastern State University. For more information concerning the Academic Forgiveness Policy, contact your advisor or the Office of the Registrar.
