Academic Forgiveness
Former Adelphi students who have been away from the University for 3 or more years are eligible for academic forgiveness.
Once you have applied for readmission and connected with a College of Professional and Continuing Studies (CPCS) advisor, we will work with you to set up an interview to see if you qualify for academic forgiveness.
Academic Forgiveness
We will help you make a request for academic forgiveness with the Office of Academic Services and Retention, which will then allow approved students to submit an academic forgiveness contract.
