CLEMENCY POLICY

The ENMU-Ruidoso academic clemency policy allows qualified students to redeem their academic record.

Philosophy

Students who have attempted course work at ENMU and were not successful in their efforts, but who wish to resume their college career may, through the granting of academic clemency, exclude the poor academic record from current work.

Criteria

To be considered for the program, a student must: • Must be currently attending ENMU-Ruidoso • At the time of readmission have not attended ENMU or any of its branches for five (5) or more years; and • Complete the first 12 credit hours after returning with a minimum grade of “C” or better in each class taken. If more than 12 hours are attempted prior to seeking clemency, the student must earn a grade of “C” or better in each course attempted.

Procedure

Students who meet these criterions may apply for clemency in the Success Emporium after having successfully completed the first 12 or more credit hours with a grade of “C” or better in each class taken. No courses taken prior to the student’s return will be counted in their Eastern New Mexico College institutional GPA. Courses with a grade of “D” or better will be carried forward as earned credit only and can be used to meet degree requirements. A course with a grade of “D” however, does not count in the students major or minor.
