Academic Fresh Start Policy

Individuals who are applying for admission or readmission to Texas A&M University - Commerce and wish to enter under the guidelines for an Academic Fresh Start (AFS) must indicate this to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the time they make an application for admission. The acknowledgement form must be submitted by the appropriate application deadline. Only individuals who are Texas residents and have had academic coursework ten years prior to their application can be considered for AFS. Students electing to use the AFS policy will forfeit all credit earned prior to ten years from the term of admission.

Academic Fresh Start is irrevocable.

If a student is admitted to A&M - Commerce under the AFS policy, with their credentials evaluated based on that criteria, they cannot subsequently request that the AFS policy be removed to use coursework that was forfeited under the AFS policy.

If a student transferring to A&M - Commerce elected to use the AFS policy at a previous school, the AFS policy will remain in effect at A&M - Commerce. A student will not be allowed to revoke the election of AFS once it has been acted up on by any institution.

This form must be submitted with the application for admission and must be submitted prior to an admission decision to be honored.

Questions:

All questions concerning Academic Fresh Start should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Admissions@tamuc.edu or (903) 886-5000.
