Academic Amnesty Academic amnesty provides an opportunity for an undergraduate student or applicant to start a new academic record. When academic amnesty is awarded, effective with a given semester all college or university level credits and grades earned prior to that semester are no longer recognized and thus are not used in subsequent academic status determinations or grade point average calculations. Academic amnesty can be considered only if the student has not been enrolled in any college or university for at least three years before the effective semester of the amnesty. (2011-2013 Undergraduate Bulletin p. 390)

A request for academic amnesty by a student enrolled at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette should be made to the students academic dean within one calendar year of the date of re-enrollment. An applicant who seeks academic amnesty in order to be admitted to the university will present his or her request to the Undergraduate Admissions Committee.

**Request to Change: Approval for amnesty to be granted by students academic Dean when requesting amnesty for enrollment purposes.Academic Amnesty

Military Credit UL Lafayette follows the recommendations of the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and will grant credit for certain military schools, subject to the approval of the Director of Admissions and the students academic Dean. Most military credit is evaluated as credit (CR) for military training schools.
