Academic Fresh Start
The Academic Fresh Start procedure is designed to assist returning students,
who meet specific conditions, to have a fresh start in how their previous
academic records are applied toward meeting graduation requirements in credit
programs leading to a degree, diploma or certificate. Any student who
meets the following conditions should contact the Academic Records Office for an
application.
- Academic Fresh Start is available only to students after re-entry to York
Technical College following two years' absence. It is the responsibility
of the student to apply in writing for Academic Fresh Start within the first
two semesters following re-admission. In order to qualify, students
applying for Academic Fresh Start must have a cumulative GPA below 2.0 for all
course work. Students must also establish a term of progress (2.0 term
GPA) before Academic Fresh Start will be applied.
- Academic Fresh Start applies only to the course work taken prior to the
term of re-enrollment. Under this process, all courses previously taken
at YTC are removed from the grade-point average calculation but still appear
on the student's transcript with the original grades earned. Courses
completed with grades of "A", "B", or "C" may still be used to meet program
requirements, if applicable; however, grades of "D" may no longer be used.
Academic Fresh Start does not apply when determining eligibility for academic
honors at York Technical College.
