“It is Clark State’s intention to assist students in reaching their academic and career goals, and it is understood that life events occur and may prevent them from obtaining their goals,” said Ron Gordon, dean of enrollment services at Clark State. “Working with students who are close to attaining their degree and removing an obstacle that is preventing them from taking those last steps is the reason why the New Beginning program was implemented.”
Candidates for the program include former students who are within two terms of completing their program of study, hold a GPA of 2.0 or higher, are in good academic and conduct standing and have an outstanding tuition balance.
Gordon said each student who presents an interest in the New Beginning program will be considered for readmission to the College. “Students who are accepted into the New Beginning program will complete their readmission to the College by agreeing to meet the guidelines of the program, and their previous balance will be forgiven as long as they complete their program of study and the provisions of the program,” he said.
Clark State offered this option for the first time in the Spring of 2019 as a pilot program.
