Who can apply for Academic Renewal?

A former student who has not attended Fort Lewis College for at least six consecutive terms (e.g., Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall) and whose Fort Lewis College cumulative GPA is below 2.00 may apply for Academic Renewal. You are only eligible for Academic Renewal one time.

When and how to apply

• If you were academically disqualified, submit your Academic Renewal petition by the admission application deadline.
• If you were not academically disqualified, you must submit your Academic Renewal petition by your return semester's Census date (the 12th day of classes).

More information about Academic Renewal

• If you are granted Academic Renewal, none of the grades you received before renewal will factor into your GPA. Previously-completed courses for which you earned a grade of C- or higher will still count toward graduation as long as they are allowable under the Time Limits on Coursework policy. Although they will not factor into your GPA, all grades and coursework completed before renewal will remain visible on your academic transcript. A note stating "Academic Renewal Approve [date approved]" will also appear on your transcript.
• Other institutions may not recognize Academic Renewal. Since your pre-renewal grades appear on your transcript, other institutions may still consider them when determining your eligibility for employment, admission, scholarships, etc.
• Once granted Academic Renewal, you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing and complete at least 30 credit hours after re-admission before being eligible for a baccalaureate degree (even if all other degree requirements have been met).

The U.S. Department of Education has flagged your FAFSA application for the “Unusual Enrollment History” review because you have received Federal Pell Grant and/or student Direct Loan funding at multiple schools during the past four years. This flag requires the student to submit an Unusual Enrollment History appeal to the Fort Lewis College Financial Aid Office listing whether you earned credits during the terms you received Federal Pell Grant and/or Student Direct Loan funding or explaining why you did not earn any credits during the term(s) you received Federal funding.

Any future Federal financial aid you will receive depends on an approved appeal through the appeals process.
