In lieu of its regular monthly meeting, the Executive Council voted via email to approve an update of AOP 12.20: Academic Forgiveness. This update combines the policy with AOP 12.36: Repeating a Course, which was subsequently rescinded. The combined policy now allows up to three courses of forgiveness without the need to repeat the course. Students may continue to repeat a course with departmental permission and average the two grades. This change will assist advisors this summer as MSU prepares for the start of the Fall 2023 semester.

Members participating in the vote were Dr. Mark Keenum, Dr. Jason Barrett, Dr. Keith Coble, Ms. Rasheda Boddie-Forbes, Ms. Ellie Herndon, Dr. Regina Hyatt, Ms. Christine Jackson, Dr. Julie Jordan, Ms. Joan Lucas, Mr. John Rush, Mr. Sid Salter, Dr. David Shaw, Ms. Anna Webb, and Mr. Don Zant.
