Applicants to Fresh Start will be reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee (ASC). Applications are due August 1st for Fall semester and December 1st for Spring semester. If you are accepted under the Fresh Start Policy, the previous Grade Point Average (GPA) will be cleared. Only courses taken after Fresh Start readmission will count toward the GPA. Previous courses in which a grade of C- (1.7) or better was earned will count as credit toward graduation requirements but will not factor into the GPA. Under the Fresh Start policy, you must complete at least eight (8) FSU courses, five (5) in the major, with an overall GPA of 2.00 in order to receive an undergraduate degree from FSU. The Fresh Start policy may be exercised only once. Once you exercise the Fresh Start, it may not be rescinded. Your academic transcript will note the readmission status as Academic Fresh Start along with the semester the status commenced.
