FRESH START
(MnSCU Policy
3.17)
(RCTC Policy 3.17.7)
A student with a two-year lapse of attendance at Rochester Community and Technical College may apply to the Office of Admissions and Records for a transcript re-evaluation (Fresh Start) within two calendar years of returning to RCTC. A student will be allowed to submit a second Fresh Start application after a four-year lapse of attendance at Rochester Community and Technical College. A transcript re-evaluation allows a student to exclude grades which are detrimental to the student’s grade point average (GPA). The student’s record will reflect all original courses attempted by the student; however, the grades will not be included in the computation of the GPA. The entire transcript will be reviewed upon application to a program with selective admission criteria.
Date of Implementation: Fall Semester 2010
