The academic renewal policy permits undergraduate students who return to Clarion University after a minimum three-year absence the one-time

program may have up to 18 semester hours excluded from their GPA calculation. Students enrolled in an associate's degree program may
have up to 9 semester hours excluded from their GPA calculation. These semester hours must have been completed at Clarion University prior

honors.
Reentering under this policy, students must successfully complete a minimum of 30 hours before receiving a baccalaureate degree. Students
must successfully complete a minimum of 15 hours before receiving an associate degree.
