The Fresh Start Policy is designed to help ALHOSN University students return to good academic
standing after an absence of at least two calendar years. When students are suspended or dismissed for
academic reasons, the Office of Admissions and Registration will inform them about re-enrollment
opportunities, including the Fresh Start option. The Office of Admissions and Registration will inform
any suspended or dismissed student being readmitted following a two-year continued absence that they
may apply for Fresh Start status. A request for Fresh Start status must be submitted within one year of
re-enrollment and applies only to courses taken before re- enrollment. After Fresh Start status is
approved, a notation will be added to the student’s academic record indicating that all ALHOSN
University credit hours earned prior to re-enrollment will be subject to the following conditions:
Courses taken prior to Fresh Start are excluded from the cumulative grade point average
calculation, and the student starts with a new cumulative grade point average.
Credit earned at ALHOSN University with a grade of less than a C (2.0) is forfeited.
Grades from all course work taken at ALHOSN University will be used in calculating
eligibility for graduation with honors.
Students choosing to re-enroll under the Fresh Start policy are subject to the academic
regulations in effect at the time of their re-entry.
Fresh Start students must re-declare their major or majors, or reapply for admission to the major
if admission is required, and must complete all current academic requirements.
Fresh Start status is applicable only to baccalaureate degrees and may be granted only one time.
Postponing Admission
The Office of Admissions and Registration may postpone the admission of a new student, upon the
student’s written request, and after full payment of the tuition fees for the semester in which he/she
was accepted. The postponement will be for one semester or a maximum of two semesters; provided
he/she has a legitimate reason (e.g. sudden serious illness) preventing him/her from completing the
registration procedures during a maximum period of four weeks from the date of the beginning of the
semester in which he/she was admitted. The Department will be informed, and if the student fails to
register after that, his/her admission to the University will be cancelled. However, the admission of a
new student is cancelled if he/she does not complete his/her course registration in the semester in
which he/she was admitted.
Registration
In making admission decisions, ALHOSN considers academic qualifications and the diversity of the
student body and applicants’ special abilities, talents, and achievements. The University believes that
the diversity of the student body enhances the quality of the education its students receive.
Returning Students
Students who changed their major in a previous semester must meet the academic advisor for their
new major.
Registration Procedure
Registration must be completed by the end of the fifth day of classes each semester. Authority to
extend this deadline is vested in the University Provost. After conferring with an advisor on the
selection of courses, the student completes registration by filling out the prescribed forms and by
payment of fees. No student can be admitted to or receive credit for a course in which he/she is not
properly registered if he/she has not paid the required fees. The procedure of registration is subject to the
following:
By the date indicated in the University calendar, all students must have completed their
