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