Petition for Clemency
Students who have been absent from study at BHCLR for a minimum of four consecutive years
and have a desire to reenter a program of study may petition for clemency for their previous
educational experience at BHCLR. To be considered for clemency the student must meet all
criteria below:

1. Be absent from study at BHCLR for a minimum of four consecutive calendar years.

2. Submit a completed petition with a detailed explanation for their previous educational
cycle. The petition should also include rationale as to why they should be allowed to
reenter the program of study. Documentation should be submitted to the appropriate
program leader.

3. Meet any additional academic requirements set by the program leader regarding their
petition.

Approval of clemency is neither automatic nor guaranteed. The petition for clemency will be
reviewed by the program leader and the Chancellor at BHCLR. Approval of clemency allows
that the petitioner is eligible to apply to the program of study. Approval of clemency does not
guarantee selection or placement into the program of study. Applicant selection will be
determined by the appropriate Selection Committee. See the Financial Aid Satisfactory
Academic Policy (SAP) for Financial Aid eligibility. Clemency is noted on the official transcript
as detailed in the petition.

Program Effectiveness
It is paramount that each school maintains an ongoing process of program effectiveness
evaluation. Several factors comprise the process. Evaluation of Program Effectiveness is
measured through the evaluation of student and graduate outcomes, faculty teaching
effectiveness, curriculum evaluations, school policies evaluation, employer satisfaction with
graduates and accrediting agency decisions. Thus, students and graduates have an important role
in the measurement of program effectiveness.

Satisfactory Academic Progress and Reentry Standards
Eligibility to register each semester is contingent, in part, that adequate satisfactory progress is
being made by the student in the program of study.

To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), a student must enroll and complete all
required courses/components in a particular semester for the program of study with a C (77%) or
above and be in good standing with the school. Any student who does not complete all required
courses with a C (77%) or above is administratively withdrawn from that program of study.
Students who are administratively withdrawn from a program are eligible to reenter according to
the reentry procedures for each program of study.
