Additional Information
If Fresh Start is granted, Mercy University courses taken two years or more before readmission with grades below a C-, up to 30 credits, will continue to appear on the student’s academic record. However, the grades for those courses will not be calculated in the student’s GPA. Fresh Start will be notated on the student’s transcript as of the date of readmission. Credit hours earned with a “C-” grade or better may be used to fulfill degree requirements. Major credits earned 2 years or more before readmission to the University may fulfill requirements for a degree, subject to the approval of the Program Director.
- Fresh Start does not guarantee reinstatement or admissions to a particular academic program. An individual program retains the right to deny a Fresh Start student into a particular academic program, but not to the University.
- All other Academic policies remain in effect and are not changed by the Fresh Start policy.
- For financial aid purposes, all previous course work and grades must be counted toward progress and program pursuit as required by the Federal Department of Education and NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC).
- For a student that has a previous balance with the University, the Fresh Start opportunity does not eliminate that balance. Full payment, or an agreed upon payment arrangement, must be in place in order to be eligible for Fresh Start.
- A student who was dismissed from Mercy University due to the violation of any nonacademic policy is not eligible for Fresh Start.
- Once Fresh Start is granted the student is required to meet with a PACT Advisor and Student Financial Services Counselor.
