fresh start option 

The Fresh Start Program offers options for both formerly matriculated students and students who have never matriculated at the university. The purpose of the Fresh Start Program is to retain and offer support to students who experience a poor start and dropped from matriculated status or withdrew from the university. This program allows them to be readmitted to the university and disregard their previous record in calculating their Quality Point Ratio (QPR).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The option is available only once, only to students who are not education majors, and only to students who have completed the following conditions.

Formerly matriculated students:

• had a QPR below 2.0
• have had non-matriculated status for at least one year
• have not yet completed 60 credits
• present evidence of changed work habits by completing 9-12 credits with a 2.75 QPR

Never matriculated students:

• had a QPR below 2.0
• did not attend the university for at least one year
• have since completed 9-12 credits with a 2.75 QPR
• have not yet completed 30 credits at the university
• have not yet completed 60 total credits

Applications for the Fresh Start Program may be obtained from the Admissions Office.
