Academic Forgiveness
Academic Forgiveness allows students to remove up to three terms from their
University of Kansas GPA one time in their academic career at KU. A student
may request Academic Forgiveness from the Office of the Registrar if he/she
meets the following conditions:
- Is currently classified as an undergraduate student at KU.
- Has had a break in attendance of at least four years from KU.
- Has earned an overall GPA of less than 2.0 prior to the four year break
from KU.
- Currently has an overall GPA since returning to KU of 2.5 or better.
- Has earned at least 12 credit hours since return to KU and
- Has consulted with his/her Academic Dean (CLAS students meet with an advisor
in the College Student Academic Services office) and obtained approval (i.e.,
signature and stamp) on the Academic Forgiveness form.
A student may designate no more than three academic terms to be removed.
The removed terms will not be computed into the student's current GPA nor
will any of the removed credits count toward a degree at the University of
Kansas.

Forgiveness forms, contact Student
Academic Services.
