fresh start option 

The Fresh Start Program offers an option for formerly matriculated students.  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).
