The Semester Deletion Policy is designed for students who had a poor academic performance at NMU and who return to the University after an extended period of time to continue their education. It is of greatest benefit to students who have changed majors upon readmission, and whose academic record contains poor grades in courses that are not required in their new field of study. Students eligible to apply the policy will have one semester of grades deleted from their grade point average (GPA).
Students must fulfill each of the following conditions to be eligible to delete the semester grades.
- Students cannot have attended any community college, college, or university during at least a three (3) year period before re-entering NMU.
- Students must:
- complete a minimum of 12 credits (excluding courses below the 100-level) after readmission, and
- obtain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 in courses taken after readmission.
- Students must be enrolled at NMU at the time they exercise this policy.
- Students may select one semester of grades (earned prior to readmission) to be deleted from their NMU record. All grades for the semester, including any passing grades, will be deleted.
- Students may implement this policy only once.
If you would like to apply for this policy, please meet with your advisor to go over the Semester Deletion Form.
