When students are granted academic renewal, the credit for courses with grades below “B-” is forfeited and the associated grades are excluded from the grade point average calculation, even if those courses apply to the student's new program Courses with grades of “B-“or above will remain intact; their grades and credit will continue to be included in all credit and GPA calculations
