Any student who returns to Herkimer College after an absence of three or more consecutive years may petition the Registrar to have the previous grade point average adjusted. Under this rule, if the Registrar approves the petition, applicable courses will be credited. Normally, grades of “C” or better will be considered for credit. Grades of “D” may be considered for “second chance” credit as long as the average of credits applicable is “C” or better. All courses and grades remain on the student’s record. This policy may be applied only one time per student.
Students who are allowed readmission under the Second Chance Policy must attain a 2.0 grade point average for their first semester after resuming their studies. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the College.
