Summary
academic bankruptcy, file academic bankruptcy, expunging courses, GPA, removing classes, class removal
Body
A student who has been admitted after having remained out of a KCTCS college for a period of two (2) years, and who has completed at least 12 credit hours in college-level courses with a GPA of 2.0 or better after admission, may choose to have none of the coursework attempted in the college prior to the interruption included in the computation of the student’s GPA.
The calculation of the GPA after the student declares bankruptcy begins with the semester of admission. A student who has elected not to count past work in the computation of his or her GPA will continue to receive credit for those courses, selected by the student, in which credit was earned with a grade of A, B, C, D, or P prior to admission, without including those grades in the computation of the student’s GPA. However, the transcript will continue to reflect the previous coursework and a notation will appear to indicate academic bankruptcy. A student may only use the academic bankruptcy option once.
Any student who has completed a credential and re-enrolls may not apply the academic bankruptcy rule to courses taken for the credential already completed.
Big Sandy requires the students to meet requirements outlined above and a counselor will gladly help the student complete the appropriate form.
