Slide38Academic Forgiveness Policy
The Missouri University of Science and Technology has an academic forgiveness policy to enable those students who did not perform adequately in their undergraduate enrollment at Missouri S&T to be given a second chance to pursue their undergraduate academic
goals. Students
returning to Missouri S&T to pursue an undergraduate degree after an extended absence may request permission to
remove
one academic term
from future degree and GPA considerations. Academic forgiveness is a policy of Missouri University of Science and Technology and as such may not be recognized by outside institutions or agencies
.
*Submitted

committee
.
Eligibility
To be eligible for academic forgiveness consideration, students must meet these requirements:
Students must have not been enrolled as degree-seeking at Missouri University of Science and Technology or any other University of Missouri System campus for
four
or more consecutive years.
Students must not have graduated from Missouri University of Science and Technology.
Students must be admitted as degree-seeking and have earned a minimum of 12.0 credits hours with at least a 2.5 GPA of record for those hours at Missouri University of Science and Technology within the past 12 months.
Slide39Academic Forgiveness PolicyConditions
Academic
forgiveness is based on the following conditions:
All
courses and credits taken during the chosen term will be removed from consideration for GPA and degree requirements. Students may not combine individual courses from multiple terms to compose the semester dropped.
All
courses and grades for the chosen term will remain on the student’s academic record with a notation showing that those hours and grades will not count toward cumulative hours, nor GPA, nor can they be used to fulfill any degree requirements.
Forgiveness
may be applied only to an academic term completed prior to the student’s extended absence.
Students
may only be granted academic forgiveness once.
Degree
requirements met during the dropped term must be repeated.
To
be eligible for a degree, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits at Missouri University of Science and Technology after readmission.
Academic
forgiveness only applies to Missouri University of Science and Technology undergraduate courses and is not applicable to transfer work or graduate work.
Only
students who are readmitted to a degree program at the undergraduate level at Missouri University of Science and Technology are eligible to apply for forgiveness.
Academic
Forgiveness must be approved by the primary academic department on a case-by-case basis.
Slide40Academic Forgiveness PolicyProcedures
Students should discuss their desire to pursue academic forgiveness with an academic advisor in the primary department to which they have been admitted.
Students should submit an Application for Academic Forgiveness form to the Registrar’s Office.
For the term approved for academic forgiveness, a note will appear on the transcript.

Slide43Response to ITCC Referral from 11/15/2012Computer Security incidents gave impetus to concerns expressed at FSActually, ITCC and IT were prescient and proactive w.r.t. these issues (see upcoming slides)RP&A has recommended that ITCC have a standing FS agenda item (as needed) to keep the Faculty current on ITCC / IT issuesITCC has agreed to thishttp://facultysenate.mst.edu/media/campussupport/facultysenate/documents/rpa/minutes/2013/RPA-DraftMinutes14Jan2013.pdf
Slide44ITCC Deliberations, ResolutionsFrom FS 6/16/2011 http://facultysenate.mst.edu/media/campussupport/facultysenate/documents/fsminutes/2011/FS.Minutes.06.16.11.pdf Don Wunsch gave a report on e-mail privacy, e-Learning initiatives, upgrade to MS Exchange Server 2010 and e-mail archiving. The ITCC recommended the following motion be approved: "The Faculty Senate recognizes that computer security problems are never guaranteed to be avoidable. Therefore we recommend that the university adopt a perspective of learning from problems rather than assigning blame. We also recommend that individuals with responsibilities for the protection of sensitive data seek the involvement of professionals to ensure that safety is provided. Furthermore, guidance to accomplish this should be provided to people with such responsibilities."
The motion passed unanimously.
