Academic Grade Amnesty
A credit student with previous coursework that is ten (10) years of age or older may seek Academic Grade Amnesty (AGA), which will remove the effect of those credits on the cumulative grade point average.
AGA may be granted only once in a student’s academic career. If granted, AGA applies to all credits and grades that are ten or more years of age. The student may not select specific semesters, specific courses, or specific grades for amnesty. AGA will apply to all coursework that is ten years of age and older from the date AGA is granted.
If a student has already earned a degree or certificate, Academic Grade Amnesty will not be permitted if it results in the forgiveness of courses used for the previously earned degree or certificate.
All courses and grades affected by AGA will remain on the official Pensacola State College transcript even though the grades are not used in calculating the cumulative grade point average. A notation of the Academic Grade Amnesty will be posted to the student’s record and will appear on the official transcript.
AGA granted at Pensacola State College may not be honored in the transfer process. Other institutions may consider the older credits and grades when evaluating a student’s Pensacola State College transcript. A student seeking AGA is encouraged to discuss the matter with representatives of the institution to which transfer is planned.
AGA has no effect on federal and state student financial aid standards of academic progress.
Any student requesting AGA is required to meet with an advisor before submitting the request for AGA.
