readmit to ccp....7 years

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I have been out of school for over 7 years. I had a D and an F in 2 classes, giving me a 2.31 GPA. After taking 6 credit (which I am taking summer 1) I am eligible for Time amnesty. That wipes away all previous Ds, Fs and withdrawals. My GPA will be recalculated. I am taking Biology 106 and math 118 as a refresher course this summer. (total of 7 credits)

With the time amnesty, will my old gpa be recalculated and used in part of my admissions to the nursing program, or would they go by the GPA of my summer 1 courses, since my old GPA is so old?

Tried to ask the academic advisor, but surprise, surprise......no help there.

Are you referring to CC of Philadelphia?

Good day, dene622:

Ask the school what will your transcripts look like after the time amnesty is provided. I.e. will the low grades, withdrawals, etc. show up on transcripts or is the time amnesty only for internal calculations. If the latter (internal use only), then it might impact you. If the former (clean transcripts), then you should be ok.

Thank you.

Yes, this is for community college of phila. I have to complete 6 credits to make me current before requesting time amnesty. Hoping my gpa is raised enough for the nursing program!
