Kentucky State University (KSU) recognizes that undergraduate students may leave KSU, grow academically and personally, and later return with a renewed commitment to complete a degree. Academic renewal provides eligible returning students a one-time opportunity to exclude specific semesters of prior KSU coursework from the cumulative grade-point average (GPA) and credit totals used for graduation, while retaining a complete and accurate academic record.
