Grade Amnesty Instructions

Determine your “consideration point”:

   •   Start at Fall Semester 2021
   •   Count back ten (10) years
   •   Land on Fall Semester 2011
Fall Semester 2011 is the first semester you may start blinding course work.

Set your “blind point”:

   •   Determine how far behind your consideration point you wish to start blinding course work
       for manual GPA calculation
   •   Create balance among blinded coursework, loss of pre-requisite coursework, and GPA
       benefit
           o ENC1101 is preserved if completion of ENC1102 with minimum grade of “C” is
               not blinded
           o MAC1105 or MGF1106 is preserved if completion of higher level math course
               with minimum grade of “C” is not blinded
   •   All coursework including the semester you set blind point and behind is blinded- you may
       not pick and choose specific courses
   •   Grade Forgiveness applies before Grade Amnesty; blinded courses already cancelled by
       grade forgiveness yield no benefit in grade amnesty calculation
Update Request for Subsequent Application Attempts:
Each grade amnesty request is valid only for the application opportunity for which it is
submitted. Subsequent application opportunities require updated grade amnesty requests.
This applies whether or not you complete additional coursework.
