Academic Forgiveness Policy

Students applying for admission to the SIUE School of Pharmacy have the option of requesting that courses taken at least four years before the term for which they are applying be excluded from the calculation of the grade point average.  When Academic Forgiveness is granted, then the GPA that is calculated for the purpose of pharmacy admissions will be based only upon courses taken after the forgiveness date.  Students who choose to request academic forgiveness will lose all credit in all courses taken before the requested academic forgiveness date and will only be considered for admission if the remaining pre-pharmacy GPA is a 3.5 or better.  In addition, the student must have a score of 60 or better on the PCAT.

All other admissions policies for the SIUE School of Pharmacy apply to students who choose the Academic Forgiveness Policy option.

Students who wish to utilize the Academic Forgiveness Policy must:

1. Speak with a faculty or staff member in the SIUE School of Pharmacy Office of Student Affairs to discuss ramification of the utilization of this policy and to obtain a copy of the “Academic Forgiveness Policy Statement of Agreement.”
2. Sign the “Academic Forgiveness Policy Statement of Agreement” and specify the term for which they are applying and the year and term when they wish the policy to begin.
3. The deadline for submission of the form is October 1 of the year before the fall term for which the student is applying.
4. Utilization of this policy must be initiated by the applicant.
