Academic Policies & Procedures

Extended X

Indiana University allows students to retake up to 3 IU courses (or total of 10 hours) and replace the grades earned in the first enrollment with the grades earned in the second enrollment, with some significant restrictions. Students wishing to pursue this option should read the full text of the policy at registrar.indiana.edu/extendedx.shtml on the Registrar’s Web site. Additionally, College of Arts and Sciences students should contact their academic advisor(s) and the College Recorder’s Office, Kirkwood Hall 001, (812) 855-1821.

Important Note: The College does not acknowledge this policy for internal GPA purposes. All grades in completed coursework, even if an “X” is on record, are calculated into the College of Arts and Sciences cumulative GPA. Since this policy does not affect the College’s GPA (that is, the College still includes the grade earned in the first enrollment in the College GPA), class rank, major GPA, and the academic standing of College of Arts and Sciences students remain unaffected by any “X” grade.
