Academic Renewal Application
The Inver Hills Community College Academic Renewal Policy acknowledges that some students’ previous coursework at Inver Hills
was adversely affected by difficult circumstances. The policy recognizes that, for various reasons, some students have not met the
scholastic requirements of their previous educational programs. Instead of needing to enroll at another college to get a fresh start,
academic renewal provides the opportunity for students to pursue their educational goals at Inver Hills.
While academic renewal gives students a one-time opportunity to establish a new grade point average (GPA) at Inver Hills
Community College, students are advised of the following:
Excluded courses cannot be used to satisfy any academic requirement.
A notation of academic renewal will be included on the transcript.
Federal financial aid regulations do not recognize academic renewal.
Transfer institutions may not honor the Inver Hills Community College Academic Renewal Policy.
Conditions and Guidelines
The student may not have been enrolled in credit-based coursework at Inver Hills for a minimum of three consecutive
years prior to requesting academic renewal.
Upon readmission to Inver Hills Community College the student must complete a minimum of 12 credits before applying
for academic renewal. The student must achieve a 2.0 GPA in each semester after readmission to be eligible for academic
renewal.
All grades of D and F/FN earned prior to academic renewal will be excluded in the calculation of credits attempted, credits
earned, and GPA. However, these courses and grades will remain on the student’s transcript. A student can be granted
academic renewal only once.
Academic renewal will not be granted if a student has earned a degree, diploma or certificate from Inver Hills and applied
any of the credits toward the award.
The student must meet with an Inver Hills counselor or advisor to determine whether academic renewal will be beneficial.
