GRADE FORGIVENESS POLICY FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Policy Statement
Undergraduate students at Stony Brook University have the option to seek forgiveness for grades earned in up to 16 credit hours of coursework, provided specific criteria are met. This policy extends to courses completed both at Stony Brook and those transferred from other institutions.
Grade Forgiveness allows students to petition for the exclusion of grades from up to 16 credit hours of coursework when calculating their grade point average (GPA). Each student may utilize this option a maximum of two times during their undergraduate tenure at Stony Brook.
It's essential to note that Grade Forgiveness does not eliminate the original grades or courses from a student's academic record; rather, it serves to recalculate the GPA. The original letter grades and courses remain on the transcript, accompanied by a notation indicating that "Grade Forgiven" has been applied. In cases where a course is repeated, both the original and repeated grades are recorded on the transcript, with the notation of "Grade Forgiven" applied to the original grade.
Courses taken on a Pass/No Credit basis are ineligible for Grade Forgiveness. Additionally, courses completed at other institutions and transferred to Stony Brook cannot be forgiven.
To qualify for Grade Forgiveness, students must fulfill the following criteria:
- Completion of at least 12 credit hours at Stony Brook since admission as a degree candidate.
- Maintenance of a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
- Approval from both an academic advisor and the department chairperson of the department where the course(s) were taken.
Returning Students
Students who have been away from the University for one or more semesters, excluding summer sessions, and intend to return must complete a Petition for Reinstatement, which needs approval from both their academic advisor and the department chairperson before they can register.
For those planning to take a temporary absence from the University for one or more semesters, excluding summer sessions, they must submit a Leave of Absence form to the Registrar’s Office. This leave is granted for a specific duration and does not automatically renew. If a student wishes to extend their leave of absence, they must submit a new Leave of Absence form.
Temporary Absence
During a leave of absence, the student is not considered enrolled at the University and does not have access to enrollment privileges or benefits such as facility use or service access. Additionally, they are not eligible to register for courses, whether at Stony Brook or any other institution.
