What is it?
Undergraduate and graduate students who return following an absence of at least one calendar year may request academic forgiveness. See the Academic Catalog for the Policy on Academic Forgiveness.
Application Review Process:
- Initial review of your Application for Academic Forgiveness will be completed by the Associate Dean for your College.
- After this, you will be required to meet with the Department Chair for your major or your Program Director to develop an Academic Plan for completing all requirements for your degree.
- Final approval of your application will not be granted until all of these steps are completed.
Please note:
- Applications must be completed at least 4 weeks before registration for courses. However, approval of return does not guarantee seats in desired classes.
- If you do not register for classes in the term identified on the initial application in which you were approved. we will hold your application for an additional semester. If at that point you do not register, your application will be closed and you will be required to resubmit.
- If you are considering applying to a graduate program in a health profession, at the time you request Academic Forgiveness, please request a transcript showing your grades before academic forgiveness is granted and save it for future use. Some programs (such as allopathic medicine) require applicants to submit original grades before academic forgiveness. If you have any questions, please contact Health Professions Advising (prehealth_advising@sju.edu).
