The Fresh Start policy allows students who have been away from 51³Ô¹ÏÍø for 5 or more years to re-enroll at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø without being held back by an old low GPA and/or low completion rate that might otherwise prevent them from graduating or completing their degree.
The Fresh Start policy only applies to academic standing.
All grades will be factored into students' financial aid eligibility.
The Fresh Start policy is in the Student Handbook.
