Grade Forgiveness
Grade forgiveness permits a student to improve his or her GPA by repeating a maximum of two courses (up to 9 hours) in which a "D" or "F" was earned. This applies only to courses taken and repeated at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. To apply for grade forgiveness, students must file their request with the Registrar's office, Hunt Hall 146, before graduation.
- Students are limited to two requests as a UA undergraduate.
- Lecture/lab co-requisites taken together count as one usage.
- Both the original grade and the new grade appear on the transcript.
- Grades received because of academic dishonesty are not eligible.
- Some institutions will not recognize grade forgiveness.
