If you have been away from UNG for three years (nine consecutive semesters), you may be eligible for academic renewal. You can complete the academic renewal request form at the time you apply. If you do not request academic renewal at the time you apply, you still have one year from the time of your re-acceptance to request an evaluation for academic renewal through an email to registrar-dah@ung.edu.
Academic renewal provides students who have been away nine consecutive semesters or more the opportunity to start over with a 0.0 GPA. Credit is retained for courses with grades of “C” or higher.
Federal Financial Aid and Hope do not recognize Academic Renewal.
