The Academic Records Revision Committee is a group of faculty and staff representatives that meet monthly during the academic year to review student requests for retroactive changes to their permanent academic records due to documented extenuating circumstances.

The committee is authorized to make a final decision on:

• Requests for changes to the academic record due to registration errors outside of the current semester.
• Requests for changes to the academic record from students who have experienced academic difficulty because of documented extenuating circumstances, including serious illness, chronic disability, serious family problems and similar situations.
• Requests for academic amnesty.
• Requests for a tuition refund.
• Requests (supported by the instructor) for a change of grades beyond one year.
• Requests (supported by the instructor) for appealing an I that has changed to an F.

The committee has no authority to: 

• Make decisions regarding academic standing, university or program probation, or university or program dismissal.
• Make admission or readmission decisions, either to selected majors or programs or to the University.
• Grant exceptions to financial policies. (For more information, consult the Office of Student Financial Services.)
• Make decisions on grade appeals. (Grade appeal policies vary by the specific college or school.)
• Award incomplete grades for courses (Incompletes must be negotiated directly with and approved by the individual instructor).
• Grant exceptions to major/minor/certificate or college or school requirements for a degree. (The final decision rests with the department, college or school.)
• Make decisions involving student responsibility and community standards (behavioral) violations. (For more information, consult the dean of students).
• Alter the academic record of students who have graduated from Saint 浪花直播 University. (Such requests are not considered by SLU.)
• "Clean up" an academic record by selective removal of poor grades. (Such requests are not considered by SLU.)

A Petition for Revision of Academic Record will only be considered up to one year (12 months) after the end of the term in which the course was taken. (Exception: Academic Amnesty deadlines are dictated by separate policy.)

A student may submit additional documentation and ask the committee to reconsider their petition through the assistant or associate dean of the college or school who brought the original petition to ARRC. The committee will not consider cases for which no new documentation is available.  Further appeals are not permitted.

Yes, the committee observes strict confidentiality and will not release information about the petition or supporting documentation without the student鈥檚 written permission.

The ARRC is composed of faculty and staff appointed by the provost. Members are anonymous and students are not allowed to communicate directly with them.  Faculty members, department chairs and deans also see the ARRC petition to provide feedback to the committee.  ARRC will review and make the final determination on the petition.

Potentially, changes to your academic record resulting from an approved petition may affect visa status, benefits and financial aid.  Please contact any office from the following list that is relevant to your situation to inquire about the potential effects of your petition:

• Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources: 314-977-3484 or accessibility_disability@slu.edu
• Office of International Services: 314-977-2318 or internationalservices@slu.edu
• Office of Student Financial Services: 314-977-2350 or sfs@slu.edu
• Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX: 314-977-3838
• Veterans Benefit Coordinator: 314-977-2259

This is very student and situation-dependent. The ARRC process is in place for students who have experienced a significant hardship and can provide documentation to support their case.

In addition to the student鈥檚 narrative and supporting documentation, the committee will also consider information from the course instructor, department chair and dean of the school or college the student was enrolled in during the semester for which they are submitting a revision of records request. In addition, the committee may take other factors into account, such as whether a student has submitted petitions for revision of records for another semester and the student鈥檚 overall academic record.
