Reprieve

=OSRHE Academic Forgiveness= The Oklahoma State Regents provide ways under certain circumstances to enable student to recover from academic problems. There are three types of institutional procedures.
 * 1) Repeated Courses also known as "Repeat Policy" [only for D's & F's]
 * 2) Academic Reprieve is a provision allowing student who have experienced extraordinary circumstances to disregard up to two semester in the calculation of the retention/graduation GPA.
 * 3) Academic Renewal is a provision allowing student who have academic trouble in the past and who have been out of higher education for a number of years to recover without penalty and have a fresh start. Under academic renewal, coursework taken prior to a date specified by the institution is not counted in the retention/graduation GPA.


 * OU SPECIFIC ~ these are not rules at other institutions ~ details in the OU General Catalog**
 * 1) If a transfer student receives an Academic Reprieve at another Oklahoma institution of higher education, then they must reapply for the Academic Reprieve when they transfer to OU. [Hopefully they haven't made a D or an F in the meantime. If they have, then they might be able to use Repeat Policy, if they have any courses left in this policy.]
 * 2) If students are allowed an Academic Reprieve, then any Repeat Policy is given back to the student. If a student used Repeat Policy on the courses in the Reprieved semester, then the student can utilize those attempts.
 * 3) Student must be currently enrolled.
 * 4) Student must earn 2.00 GPA in 12 hours at any institution of higher education to be eligible.
 * 5) OU may choose to only allow one semester of a two semester Reprieve request.
 * 6) The Reprieve and/or Renew credit hours cannot be used to meet degree requirements.
 * 7) Reprieve requires three years pass; Renew requires five years pass.
