The Fresh Start Option is available to a student who has not been enrolled at the college for at least one year, has a grade point average below 2.0, and whose academic standing is one of the following:
- academic review
- probation 1
- probation 2
- dismissal
Under the Fresh Start Option, original grades and cumulative grade point averages (CGPA) will remain on the transcript, but all future calculations of CGPA will include only courses taken after readmission. Courses taken at Cape Cod Community College prior to the one-year break will be evaluated according to the current transfer credit policy. Courses meeting the transfer credit policy will be counted as transfer credit. The transcript will identify the selection of this program.
The student who wishes to re-enroll under this program may obtain an application from the Office of Admissions. A student may exercise the Fresh Start Option only once.
Students under the Fresh Start Option will meet graduation requirements in effect for degree or certificate programs at time of re-entry.(Amended by College Meeting Sept. 2011, May 6, 2024)
