Conditions Governing Eligibility for Adjusted Resident Credit
-
Prior to the one year absence, the student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) less than 2.00.
-
The student must have separated from the institution for at least one calendar year. A term in which the student received W grades cannot be counted as part of the calendar year separation.
-
Upon returning to the University, the student must earn a minimum of 30 credits at 桃花社区视频 Dominion University to be eligible for a degree. This must include 12 hours of upper-level courses in the department of the declared major program.
-
Upon return, a full-time student must have attained a 2.00 GPA for all work attempted since his or her return and must have completed a minimum of 12 semester hours. There may be no incomplete grades on the record. Courses that do not compute in the grade point average will not count toward the minimum of 12 semester hours.
-
Upon satisfying the above requirements, the student must submit the application for Adjusted Resident Credit (), to the Office of the University Registrar.
-
This option will be available only ONCE during the student's career at 桃花社区视频, and must be elected and the student's record adjusted prior to graduation.

-
Consultation and approval by the appropriate department, and approval of the dean(s) of the college(s) in which the student's major program resides will be required. Once an application for Adjusted Resident Credit is approved and applied to the student's record, this action is final.

Students may elect to use both grade forgiveness and the Adjusted Resident Credit policy. However, students cannot use grade forgiveness for individual courses for which adjusted resident credit already has been applied.

-
Under this option:
-
eligible students will receive degree credit only for those courses in which grades of C (2.00) or better were earned prior to readmission
-
likewise, hours attempted for courses in which grades of C-, D+, D, D- or F were received prior to readmission, will not be considered in computing the student's new cumulative GPA, and
-
grade points earned for any course completed prior to readmission will not count in determining the student's new cumulative GPA.
-
-
All grades received at the University will be part of the individual's official transcript and will be used to determine honor awards. However, computation of a new GPA for graduation and continuance will be based on work performed subsequent to reinstatement.
-
In cases of dual jurisdiction, University continuance regulations will prevail.
Grades for which ARC has been applied are indicated by "R" in front of the original letter grade.
