Academic Fresh Start

In keeping with the Texas Education Code, 51.929, applicants to Texas Wesleyan University may seek initial admission to the undergraduate programs of the University under the provisions of “Academic Fresh Start,” which allow an applicant to ask that the University not consider undergraduate credits or grades that were earned 10 or more years prior to current matriculation. “Academic Fresh Start” is an inclusive policy. An applicant requesting and approved for “Academic Fresh Start,” will not receive credit for any undergraduate college work that was earned 10 or more years prior to current matriculation. The Texas Wesleyan University transcript of the student will indicate that she/he requested and was approved for “Academic Fresh Start.” The transcript will reflect all undergraduate college work attempted within the 10-year period after the student was approved for “Academic Fresh Start,” and these grades and credits earned will be used for purposes of calculating grade point average, class standing, and/or meeting graduation and other requirements of the University. The applicant must submit an Academic Fresh Start request, available in the Admission Office, to the Office of Student Records for approval prior to admission and registration.
