*Grades of FW issued in spring 2011, summer 2011 and fall 2011 are treated like F letter grades and are eligible for academic forgiveness. During these three semesters the FW was used in calculating the student’s term and cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).
FWs issued beginning in the spring of 2012 and forward are not eligible for academic forgiveness as they are not calculated in the term or cumulative GPA.
