In addition, failure to make at least a 1.0 GPA in any term or failure to earn at least three credit
hours in any term could result in probation or suspension, at the discretion of the Provost.
Students may be suspended for other academic reasons, such as Honor Code violations. In the
case of part-time students, the extent of application of these regulations will be at the discretion
of the Provost. Normally, all applications of the regulations will be based upon a full academic
load.
A letter from the Provost is sent to the student providing information on standing. ―Probation
One‖ means that the student's next term will be the first term on probation, etc. ―Dean's
Decision‖ means that the student's academic records have been given to the Provost for action.
ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS
Academic forgiveness is a process which allows a student to have his or her prior academic
record adjusted if:
1. four (4) or more calendar years have elapsed since the period of last enrollment at LaGrange
College;
2. the student applying for forgiveness has completed a minimum of 12 semester hours since
readmission to LaGrange College and has earned a GPA of 2.0, with no course grade lower
than "C-," since the time of readmission.
The student may petition for forgiveness through the Provost‘s Council, and, if approved, the
College will:
1. apply toward the student's Core Curriculum and elective requirements, but not necessarily
toward the student's academic major or minor, all those courses in which the student earned a
grade of "C-" or better;
2. set the student's cumulative grade point average to 0.0;
3. require the student to successfully complete a minimum of 30 semester hours after
bankruptcy declaration in order to graduate;
4. and allow all graduation requirements (see LaGrange College Bulletin) to remain the same
and apply equally, except that students who have petitioned for and received academic
forgiveness will not be eligible to receive honors at graduation.
LaGrange College will maintain the student's complete record, including those courses excluded
from the GPA by the granting of forgiveness. No coursework will be expunged from the
student's academic record. The student's official transcript will clearly indicate that the student
has been granted academic forgiveness. Ordinarily, no transfer or transient credits will be
accepted after academic forgiveness. A student may be granted academic forgiveness only once
during his or her academic career at LaGrange College.
