Undergraduate
students who are readmitted to USA after an
absence of one calendar year or longer have
the option to declare academic bankruptcy. This
means choosing to count none of their previous
USA credits toward completion of degree requirements
and the calculation of their GPA. In effect,
the student can start academic work at USA over.
However, all coursework will remain on the student's
record.
Note:
Financial aid does not consider academic bankruptcy
when determining a student's academic progress
and eligibility for financial assistance. Students
should be referred to Financial Aid for further
information.
