Academic Bankruptcy

Under specified conditions, undergraduate students who have interrupted their college careers for a period of at least five consecutive calendar years may declare academic bankruptcy. Students must apply for academic bankruptcy before or during the first two weeks of the first semester or term in which they enroll or are readmitted as regular students to LSU Eunice subsequent to the five-year period resulting in eligibility for the academic bankruptcy option.

Under this policy, college-level work done at an earlier date is eliminated from computation of the grade-point average and cannot be applied toward a degree at LSU Eunice. Such work, however, will not be removed from students’ scholastic records and transcripts. Students qualifying for academic bankruptcy are admitted on scholastic probation. Academic bankruptcy declared at any other institution will be evaluated on an individual basis upon the student’s admission to LSU Eunice. Students who are interested in applying for academic bankruptcy must contact their academic division head.

The deadline for applying for academic bankruptcy for students enrolling in the Spring 2013 semester is January 25, 2013.
