Academic Policies and Procedures

Academic Probation

First-Year Undergraduate Students*

Students will be placed on academic probation at the end of their first semester of attendance if their IU GPA is between 1.0 and 1.99. Students will be informed of their probationary status by letter. Students on first-time academic probation will be required for the next semester of enrollment to participate in an approved intensive intervention provided by University College. Students on academic probation must register before the end of the first full week of classes. No full-term courses or first eight-week courses can be added after the first full week of classes. Students may be continued on probation when their next semester GPA is 2.0 or above, but their cumulative IU GPA is between 1.0 and 1.99. Students will be removed from probationary status once their cumulative IU GPA is 2.0 or above.

*Defined by the IUPUI Admissions Center as high school graduates (or students who have completed the GED or equivalent credential) with less than 12 hours of attempted college credit at the time of enrollment at IUPUI.

All Other Students

All other students whose cumulative IU GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students will be informed of their probationary status by letter. Students on first-time academic probation will be required for the next semester of enrollment to participate in an approved intensive intervention provided by University College. Students on academic probation must register before the end of the first full week of classes. No full-term courses or first eight-week courses can be added after the first full week of classes. Students may be continued on probation when their semester GPA is 2.0 or above, but their cumulative IU GPA is below 2.0. Students will be removed from probationary status once their cumulative IU GPA is 2.0 or above.

*Please Note: The School of Liberal Arts, School of Science, and University College, in agreement with this common policy, will honor academic probation and dismissal status from other units when students have an IU cumulative GPA below 2.0. Students may also be academically dismissed or released from a particular program if they do not make consistent and appropriate academic progress relevant to their fields of study. This is left to the discretion of the appropriate officer in the school. University College policy concerning academic dismissal is that students who are dismissed for the first time from IUPUI, IU-B, PU, IU regional campuses, or other IUPUI schools must sit out for a minimum of one regular (fall or spring) semester and petition by the established deadlines to be eligible for reinstatement.
