Academic Fresh Start

An undergraduate student may file for Academic Fresh Start if the student has not been enrolled in any college or university (including SAU Tech) for a period of at least three years immediately before enrolling at SAU Tech. The student must apply for and declare Academic Fresh Start for credit admission to SAU Tech within the first semester (term) they are enrolled or during re-enrollment. Please refer to the College Catalog for the criteria that applies for receiving Academic Fresh Start.

Note: Federal regulations make no provision for Academic Fresh Start. The student’s complete academic record, including courses in which the student has been granted Academic Fresh Start, will be included when reviewing financial aid eligibility. It is possible a student can appeal separately concerning their federal financial aid – see the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy in the College Catalog.
