Further information on specific questions related to the use of Academic Forgiveness can be found on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/registrar\/\"><strong>Registrar\u2019s website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Academic Forgiveness can improve a student\u2019s GPA while reducing their earned credit hours, so students must be aware of all consequences before requesting that a grade be forgiven. Students are encouraged to speak with the Office of Student Financial Aid if they have questions about how Academic Forgiveness may affect their scholarship eligibility. If students are seeking to regain a scholarship for an upcoming academic year, they must invoke the AFP before the first day of class of the fall semester. For financial aid purposes, courses repeated under this policy resulting in duplicate credit do not count for satisfactory academic progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The following conditions apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The AFP shall apply only to courses taken at Clemson University.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The AFP may not be applied to a course taken on a Pass\/No Pass basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Courses taken prior to fall semester 2003 may not be considered for Academic Forgiveness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students may apply Academic Forgiveness to a particular course only once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The AFP may not be applied to any course in which the student was previously found in violation of the academic integrity policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once applied, Academic Forgiveness cannot be reversed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D or F grades in required courses may be eliminated from the GPA before the course is repeated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A forgiven course cannot be used to satisfy any prerequisite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course substitutions are not permitted in situations where Academic Forgiveness has been previously applied.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any course used to meet a graduation requirement must be repeated satisfactorily at Clemson University.
