Undergraduate Academic Amnesty
FIU undergraduate students who apply for re-admission (with a prior cumulative GPA below a 2.0) and have not been enrolled in any university or college for at least five calendar years may apply for academic amnesty. If re-admitted, students will begin with a new grade point average of 0.0. No grades previously earned will be included in the University grade point average; however, credit for previous University courses, in which a grade of “C” or better was earned may be applied toward a degree, subject to determination by the College of the student’s major. All prior courses attempted and grades received will remain on the student’s transcript. Admitted or re-admitted students may not petition for any retroactive change in their academic record utilizing this policy. Students applying for academic amnesty to a limited access program must meet the admission criteria of that program. Students must follow the regular re-admission application process and complete the amnesty form for consideration to be determined by the student’s academic dean. Re-admission applications and academic amnesty applications may be obtained on the Undergraduate Admissions website. Please refer to FIU Policy 340.300 Undergraduate Academic Amnesty in the Policies and Procedures Library for further information.
Undergraduate Academic Salvage
FIU undergraduate students who are academically dismissed from the University or who have a cumulative GPA below a 2.0, and who subsequently receive an Associate in Arts degree from another Florida public institution of higher learning may apply for academic salvage. If re-admitted, students will begin with a new FIU grade point average of 0.0. Students re-admitted under academic salvage will be credited with a maximum of 60 semester credit hours. Students must follow the regular re-admission application process and complete the Academic Salvage form for consideration by the student’s academic dean. Re-admission applications and academic salvage applications may be obtained on the Undergraduate Admissions website. Please refer to FIU Policy 340.305 Undergraduate Academic Salvage in the Policies and Procedures Library for further information.
