Fresh Start is a second chance to earn a baccalaureate degree with forgiveness for past performance. This readmission option recognizes that maturity shifts priorities and improves the chances for successfully completing a degree program.
A person is eligible for the Fresh Start option after five (5) consecutive calendar years of absence from Wilmington College. A Fresh Start will be granted upon readmission if requested by the applicant on the Application for Admission. Upon readmission under Fresh Start, course work begins with no cumulative grade point average. Previous Wilmington College courses with grades of "C" or better will fulfill requirements for a degree, but quality points will not be computed in the GPA. Readmission under Fresh Start places a person in good academic standing. A Fresh Start participant may earn baccalaureate honors. Fresh Start may only be used once.
