Admissions Academic Forgiveness Policy for Transfer Students

At the point of admission, Dominican University of California has a transfer student forgiveness policy that disregards grades of ‘D’ and ‘F’ that are seven or more years old. The Forgiveness Policy is for admission purposes only. Grades received in forgiven courses are not included in determining whether an applicant meets the 2.0 minimum GPA required for admission. However, these courses and their grades remain on the student’s record and are included in the overall grade point average for academic standing for graduation and for honors at graduation. Students eligible for admissions forgiveness must earn grades in Dominican courses which will bring their overall grade point average to 2.0 at the time of graduation unless the student has applied for Academic Renewal (for information regarding Academic Renewal refer to the Academic Renewal Policy section in this Catalog). This policy applies to all majors except nursing and occupational therapy.
