Students returning to Ozarks Tech after an absence of three consecutive years or longer, with a cumulative OTC GPA of less than 2.0, may apply for Academic Fresh Start in order to recover from a deficient GPA. Ozarks Tech limits this opportunity to those cases in which the student’s prior record does not reflect their current maturity with respect to motivation, attitude and ability. For more information, see Policy 5.31-Academic Fresh Start.
