Overview
Students who have been dropped from LSU because of graduate-level GPA of less than 3.0, and who have then not attended LSU for a period of at least two consecutive calendar years may declare academic renewal and apply for re-admission to the university. Under this policy, ALL graduate-level work taken at an earlier date is eliminated from computation of the grade point average and cannot be applied toward a degree at LSU. Such work will remain on the student's scholastic records and transcripts, and can be considered by the department in the re-admission process, but will not be used in the computation of the graduate grade point average.
