Literally ‘a clean slate.’ Tabula Rasa is granted to students upon readmission after being required to withdraw. It allows the student to retain ungraded credit for certain courses completed prior to the required withdrawal, while the points and hours are removed from the student’s record and the GPA is reset. This academic amnesty allows the student to retain credit for courses that were successfully completed and to have a fresh start with respect to grade point average. Tabula Rasa is available in the Faculty of Arts and Science (see Faculty of Arts and Science, Readmission after Required Withdrawal), the Faculty of Fine Arts (see Faculty of Fine Arts, Readmission after Required Withdrawal), the Faculty of Health Sciences (see Faculty of Health Sciences, Readmission after Required Withdrawal), and the Dhillon School of Business (see Dhillon School of Business, Readmission after Required Withdrawal).
