 ACADEMICS
ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS
Academic Forgiveness allows returning students a one-time opportunity to request omission of courses from a prior enrollment period from their grade point average. Course grades will remain on the student transcript but not be calculated into the student’s GPA. Courses that have already been applied toward a previous degree are not eligible to be forgiven.
Financial aid funding and Satisfactory Academic Progress do not fall under the Academic Forgiveness policy; enrollment/grade history will continue to be a factor when determining financial aid eligibility.
Students must meet with their Program Counselor to discuss application prior to submission. The counselor will assist the student to determine whether repeating a course, or forgiveness is the best option for them.
Students may qualify for Academic Forgiveness under the following conditions:
• Student is moving from one LTC program to another LTC program.
• Student is returning to LTC after a two-year period of time away from the college.
• Student had difficulties other than what qualifies for a late drop. (Issues other than verified medical
emergencies, etc.)
Students may apply after the first successful semester returning to LTC. Successful is defined as completing Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards.
Grades below C are eligible to be omitted from GPA calculation. The student will specify course(s) to omit through the Academic Forgiveness Request form.
All course decisions approved for Academic Forgiveness are final and cannot be reversed. If a student changes their program, credit forgiveness is not reversible, and they will need to retake the course if it is required for the new program. Courses that are approved for academic forgiveness will not be eligible to be used as a prerequisite or co- requisite for another course.
Appeal Process: Students who are denied forgiveness for a course or courses may appeal that decision to the Vice President of Student Success.
