Title: GPA Forgiveness
Subject:Academic Affairs
Policy No: AA: 2015: 07
Applies: University-Wide
Issuing Authority: Provost/ Senior Vice President forAcademic Affairs
Responsible Officer: Vice President for Academic Affairs
Adopted:
Last Revision: 12/03/2015
Last Reviewed: 12/03/2015
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to create a pathway for students whose initial academic performance was extremely poor to return to Rowan University without a prohibitively negative impact on their Grade Point Average.
II. ACCOUNTABILITY
Under direction of the Provost / Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Academic Affairs shall implement this policy and the University Registrar shall ensure compliance with the policy.
III. APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to all undergraduate students of Rowan University.
IV. POLICY
- Undergraduate students who started at Rowan University as native freshmen, earned a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 during their first academic year at Rowan University, left the University after their first academic year, and have not attended classes at Rowan University for a minimum of two consecutive years may apply to have their grades forgiven and their GPA restarted at 0.0.
- Conditions and procedures:
- The maximum cumulative GPA that could be forgiven will be less than 2.0.
- The grades for a maximum of 36 attempted credits could be forgiven (based on the normal maximum number of credits permitted).
- A student requesting GPA forgiveness is subject to existing procedures and timelines for reregistering or reapplying as appropriate. In addition, the student must provide a written statement requesting GPA forgiveness and presenting evidence of readiness and/or continuing progress, such as successful completion of 24 credits at a community college or another accredited institution, regular employment, or military service. The student may be asked to provide documentation of the problem that contributed to the original poor performance and/or actions taken to remedy the problem.
- Rowan University courses in which the student received a C or better will automatically be accepted as transfer credits. The grades will not count toward GPA. The credits may count toward graduation, but will not count toward the required minimum of 30 credits taken in residency. No credit will be granted for courses in which a C- or lower was earned.
- Upon readmission or reentrance, students must successfully complete at least 12 credits and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 before the GPA forgiveness would be applied.
- The policy does not apply to graduate students.
- Additional provisions:
- The option provided by this policy is intended only for students in dire circumstances and should not be construed as desirable or advantageous. The criteria for transfer credits are stricter than for normal situations. The required documentation is similar to what would be required for students seeking reinstatement following academic dismissal. The policy is not intended to supplant existing policies and procedures governing academic performance problems that are resolvable by the student through a relatively minor correction or temporary hiatus. These other policies and procedures include:
- Retaking a course to improve the grade
- Academic probation
- Academic dismissal
- Withdrawal from a course or courses
- Leave of absence
- GPA forgiveness pertains to situations that are catastrophic and require a more intensive recovery period or growth process, such as:
- Extreme difficulty adjusting to academic expectations
- Severe illness
- Emotional or psychological trauma
- Substance abuse
- According to current University policy, conferral of academic honors at Commencement is based on the student's GPA at the end of the first term of the senior year. The GPA must be based on a minimum of 36 semester hours of course work completed at Rowan University. A student exercising the option described in this policy will have met this minimum if he/she successfully complete his/her studies at Rowan and is therefore eligible for academic honors at Commencement. The required 36 semester hours earned at Rowan do not include Rowan courses accepted for transfer credit as permitted by this policy.
- The student should be advised that although his/her GPA is being restarted at 0.0, his/her academic record remains intact. The complete transcript will show the grades that were forgiven, and it is possible that employers, licensing or certifying agencies, or graduate school admissions committees will use the student's 'unadjusted' GPA for purposes of determining eligibility.

Abstract
The increased demand for wood products related to industries such as bioenergy and paper has resulted in a need for a consistent supply of raw materials. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) plantations have the potential to boost wood production for pulpwood and biomass feedstocks. Species characteristics such as rapid, indeterminate growth, coppice regrowth, resistance to disease and insects, and tolerance of a range of environmental conditions make these species successful short-rotation woody crops (SRWCs). Camden white gum (Eucalyptus benthamii), a more cold tolerant species, has made management of eucalyptus plantations viable in southern portions of the United States such as the Western Gulf Coastal Plain. However, few data exist to determine biodiversity impacts of plantation conversion from pines (Pinus spp.) to eucalyptus. Rather, most literature compares biodiversity between native forests to non-native plantations in various parts of the world. To make a preliminary assessment of biological impacts from conversion of native plantations to eucalyptus plantations, I determined arthropod abundance, family richness, and diversity as an indicator of prey availability for breeding birds in eucalyptus plantations. I compared these results to slash pine (Pinus elliottii) plantations of similar age and also of similar height in southwestern Louisiana during bird breeding seasons of 2014 and 2015. I also compared avian diversity, occupancy, density, and community composition among stand types. Finally, I identified landscape and stand-level factors that affect occupancy by various avian species of conservation concern.
Eucalyptus plantations had similar arthropod richness and diversity to pine stands of both ages. Monsters mojo mac os. Arboreal arthropod abundance was less in eucalyptus plantations and this may be attributed to their being an exotic species. However, arboreal arthropods were a minor component of overall arthropod communities across all stand types. Understory vegetation diversity and structure in eucalyptus stands were similar to younger pine plantations and may be the major factor influencing arthropod availability in all stand types. Contrary to arthropod occurrence, bird species occurrence and communities were more similar between eucalyptus plantations and mid-rotation pine plantations of similar height. However, these stands were still able to retain species and communities associated with early successional pine habitat, thus suggesting avian communities in young eucalyptus plantations were intermediate between the communities in 1-2-year-old and 6-7 year old pines. Future implications of conversion to these plantation types may include reduced arthropod abundance with stand age and reduced grassland-associated and cavity-nesting birds.
