admission students who subsequently pursue academic credit at
McMurry University must first apply for admission and be accepted as
a degree-seeking student before the work taken as a special

REQUIREMENTS FOR READMISSION
A McMurry student whose attendance has been interrupted must apply
for readmission to the university and must be approved for readmission
by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of Student
Affairs, the Business Office, and the Financial Aid Office.
Recommendations regarding students who have been suspended will
be made by the Student Appeals Committee. The form for application
for readmission may be secured from the Office of the Registrar and
should be returned to that office at least 30 days before the beginning
of the semester in which the student wishes to enroll. A student who
has been away from McMurry for one full long semester is required to
pay a $20.00 readmission fee which must accompany the readmission
application.ACADEMIC RESTART
The McMurry Academic Restart program is available for students who
wish to eliminate from their records all previous unsatisfactory grades
for academic work. Undergraduate students may, at the time of
admission or readmission to the university, petition for Academic
Restart if they have not been enrolled in any college or university for a
period of at least five calendar years immediately preceding their
intended enrollment at McMurry. The following conditions will apply:
1. The student will forfeit the use of all college or university
credits earned prior to the date Academic Restart was
declared (the date of admission or readmission). This
includes credits earned through any advanced placement
program. Courses taken prior to the Academic Restart date
may not be used to fulfill requirements of any kind.
2. No courses taken prior to the declaration of Academic
Restart will be used in the calculation of the student's grade
point average.
3. The student's record will be inscribed with the notation
"Academic Restart Declared" (date).
4. The student will not be eligible for academic honors
conferred by the University except as justified by the entire
academic record, including courses taken prior to the
declaration of Academic Restart.
5. A student who declares Academic Restart will be placed on
academic probation and required to earn a C (2.0) average
during his first semester of enrollment. Students failing to
meet this requirement will be suspended from the University.
Those meeting the requirement will be removed from
probation.
6. A student who declares Academic Restart will be considered
an entering freshman and will be subject to all McMurry
policies regarding placement in courses.
7. Declaration of Academic Restart has no effect on
accumulated financial aid history. Students accumulated
semester and award limits include all semesters of
enrollment, both before and after the declaration.
TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION ASSESSMENT
(THEA)
Multidisciplinary studies majors seeking teacher certification are
required to take the THEA. Some exceptions and exemptions are
available. Please contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction
for further information.
ACADEMIC PLACEMENT POLICY
All first-time college students or transfers who have not completed
English 1310 and/or Math 1311 (or equivalent) may be required to test
for placement in math, reading and composition. Students whose
placement results indicate a need for pre-college development in one
or more of these areas must register for and continually enroll in the
corresponding DEVS (Developmental Studies) course(s) until they
pass with a grade of "C-" or better. Students must meet this
requirement before enrolling in the corresponding academic level
classes. Academic advisors will assist students in registering for the
appropriate level of classes. Declining required testing constitutes
acceptance of placement in DEVS classes. Some students may be
exempt from one or more placement test(s) if ACT/SAT subscores or
THEA scores exceed established cutoff levels. Note: Credit for DEVS
courses will not count toward any requirements other than placement
and the meeting of pre-requisite skills for collegiate-level courses.
Please see the Developmental Studies section of this catalog for
further information. Home-schooled students - The placement tests
administered at McMurry University are approved by the Department of
Education as an "ability-to-benefit" test.
