Academic Amnesty Procedure
The following criteria and application has been created to aid currently enrolled students who began their studies at Delaware Technical Community College prior to the conversion to a Semester system in the Fall of 1993 (94-1). To qualify, a student must complete The Petition for Academic Amnesty form and submit the form to the Dean of Instruction or his/her designee.
The following conditions apply:
- Any student who has a non-completion grade (R, U) in a course prior to the Fall of 1993 (94-1) or has an enrollment date prior to 94-1 and has successfully repeated the course(s) (A, B, C grade) or the semester equivalent may petition the Dean of Instruction or his/her designee to eliminate the non-completion grade from the CUM grade point average calculation. Each non-completion grade in the same course will be eliminated from the CUM GPA calculation.
- The student must submit a written application for Academic Amnesty to the Dean of Instruction or his/her designee.
- If the request for Academic Amnesty is approved, the non-completion grade (R, U) will be replaced with an administrative grade (AR, AU). The administrative grade (AR, AU) will not be included in the students new CUM Grade Point Average.
- All students are cautioned that many undergraduate professional programs, graduate and professional schools consider all grades listed on a transcript when considering applications for admission and scholarship.
- Academic Amnesty does not change accumulated Financial Aid history. Accumulated term and award limits include all terms of enrollment.
