Re-Enrollment with Academic Renewal
Academic renewal provides an opportunity for former Penn State students to resume their academic career without being penalized by their past academic record. To be eligible for academic renewal the student must not have enrolled at Penn State for at least four years. If approved for academic renewal, the cumulative grade-point average starts over. Requests for academic renewal are processed through the Penn State Behrend Registrar's Office. In the event there was a drop action during the previous attendance as a degree student, approval will be sought from the academic college requested. If enrollment was provisional or non-degree, approval will be sought from the Division of Undergraduate Studies. Notification about the decision will be sent from the Registrar's Office.
If academic renewal is approved, a new grade-point average will begin with the next registration. The prior academic record will remain unchanged on the transcript along with a notation of renewal. Total credits completed will be recalculated based on prior courses with a grade of "C" or higher. To request re-enrollment with academic renewal contact the Penn State Behrend Registrar's Office by phone at 814-898-6104 or by e-mail at regbd@psu.edu.
