Texas residents may apply for admission to SFA under the Academic Fresh Start Program (Texas Education Code 51.931) as they are applying for admission or re-admission. All academic course credits and grades earned 10 or more years prior to the semester for which the student seeks admission are not considered for admissions purposes.
Applicants who elect to apply for Academic Fresh Start and are admitted, may not receive any course credit for courses taken more than 10 years prior to enrollment. Once the provisions under Academic Fresh Start have been accepted students may not revoke that decision.
