Academic Renewal allows a student who has been away from school for a period of time a way of 'starting fresh' with his or her GPA. Guidelines for requesting Academic Renewal are available in the Undergraduate Bulletin.

When Academic Renewal is granted, the GPA is returned to 0.0, but the hours attempted (for financial aid purposes) remains the same. Each course on the student's transcript will have a '#' symbol associated with it. Courses that received a grade of 'C' or better can be used towards the student's graduation from NGCSU. A Grade Codes guide is available to assist advisors and students when completing a plan of study.
