Academic Forgiveness

Undergraduate students who have a break in enrollment from UNC Charlotte for a minimum period of 24 consecutive months or undergraduate students who have a break in enrollment from Charlotte for a minimum of one (1) regular semester and earn an Associate of Arts (AA), an Associate of Science (AS), an Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) or an Associate of Engineering (AE) degree are eligible for readmission with forgiveness.

• Eligible students may be readmitted one time only using the forgiveness policy. Forgiveness will be applied following the census date of the student’s readmission entry term.
• Eligible students may elect to waive Academic Forgiveness during the student’s readmission entry term. 
• Grades eligible for Academic Forgiveness are all D’s, F’s and only W ‘s earned after Fall 2014.
• The forgiveness policy is applied to all eligible courses.
• Readmission under the forgiveness policy also resets the student’s W-limit hours (see UNC Charlotte Academic Policy: Withdrawal and Cancellation of Enrollment) to the full 16 hours.
• The GPA will be based only on the courses that return with the student and the courses taken after readmission.
