Repeat First-Year Request
Repeat First Year Policy
The Academic Standing Committee may allow a first year student to declare academic bankruptcy by
repeating the fall or spring semester, or the entire first year. The grades from the bankrupted semester or
year will not be included in the cumulative average (though a record of the semester's or year's work will
remain on the transcript.) Application must be made within ten days of the end of the semester or year for
which bankruptcy is sought. All repeated courses must be taken at Villanova.

I hereby declare that I have read and understood the Repeat First Year Policy described above and agree to
