Petition for Academic Renewal
Delta provides students the opportunity to renew their academic record. The student must not have been enrolled
i
n college level course work for two consecutive years (24 months), demonstrate that the conditions that led to
the academic deficiencies have changed and complete the necessary steps to be considered for Academic
Renewal. Academic Renewal can only be awarded once in an
academic lifetime and cannot be declared for
any period that was previously used for an awarded credential.
The Following standards apply:
• The student must submit an application for admission, submit an official transcript from those colleges
from which the student desires to use credits for placement, completion of degree requirements, or as
directed by specific programs (i.e. nursing) (excluding Delta), and be admitted to the College.
• The student must submit a request for Academic Renewal along with supporting documents to the
E
nrollment Services Office before or during the first semester of enrollment.
• If Academic Renewal is not declared during the first term of enrollment, the student can retroactively
re
quest Academic Renewal to be effective the first term of attendance in an active term without any gaps in
attendance and must have maintained a minimum of a 2.0 term GPA for every term up to the date of the
application for Academic Renewal. In addition, if Academic Renewal is declared using this process; only
those courses prior to the two-year lapse of enrollment will be considered for renewal.
• The student must also submit a letter of explanation to include evidence that there is reasonable expectation
of
future satisfactory performance.
• Enrollment Services reviews the academic record to determine eligibility to be considered for Academic
R
enewal.
• If Enrollment Services determines that the student is eligible to request Academic Renewal, the
a
pplication will be submitted to the appropriate academic division chair/campus director for review and
consideration.
• Delta will recognize Academic Renewal granted by other institutions in the LCTCS System without
a
ppeal of acceptance.
• Delta MAY recognize Academic Renewal from institutions outside the LCTCS System, but the student
m
ust submit a request to apply it to his/her record.
• A non-LCTCS institution may choose to accept or deny the transfer of Academic Renewal granted by
De
lta. Students are encouraged to investigate the Academic Renewal policy if they plan to transfer to
another institution.
