Academic Policies - Academic Bankruptcy

Students who attended County College of Morris in the past with poor academic records and who wish to return to the college without being penalized for a long-standing poor record, may declare academic bankruptcy for all courses taken during their initial attendance at the college.

Students may declare academic bankruptcy if there is a five-year interim between the time they took their last course and the time they have been readmitted into the college.

Once academic bankruptcy is declared, the student’s previous record is retained on the transcript with “Academic Bankruptcy’’ indicated. This statement will separate the past from the current course work. The academic bankruptcy policy is printed on the back of the student’s transcript.

When students declare academic bankruptcy, all courses taken during their first affiliation with the college will be included. Selecting only certain courses is not permitted. Also, there is no minimum number of credits required before a student is eligible to declare academic bankruptcy. Students will have one opportunity to take advantage of this policy.

Students interested in further information should contact the Office of Records and Registration.
