A student who re-enrolls at Mesa State College following an absence of at least five years may be eligible for academic renewal.

If academic renewal is approved, none of the course credits and grades earned at Mesa State College prior to the fiveyear minimum absence will be used for meeting graduation requirements or in determining the student's grade point average.

Among the requirements to be eligible to apply/petition for "academic renewal" is that the student must have completed 24 academic course credits at Mesa State College, excluding kinesiology courses and remedial courses below the 100 level, with a minimum grade point average of 3.00.

The student must apply/petition in the Registrar's Office no later than the semester following the completion of these 24 semester credit hours. Matriculation and/or course completion at other institutions during the five-year period of absence has no bearing on the application/petition.
