Policies

Probation, Suspension, Readmission

Note: IU Southeast probation, suspension, and readmission policies are currently under review. Please visit the website of your school or division, or the academic success center for the current policy and procedures. The policy below is in effect until the new policy and procedures are approved and implemented.

These policies apply to all students at IU Southeast except Academic Success Center students: Program cumulative statistics are used in applying these rules. The school and division deans shall administer these policies for students admitted to their academic units. The director of admissions shall administer these policies as they relate to students admitted to nondegree status. A faculty may enact more stringent or more specific policies governing probation, suspension, or readmission in that school or division. Each school or division may elect, or the dean may appoint, an academic standards committee to advise the dean on questionable cases. For policies regarding Academic Success Center students, see that section in the Bulletin.

  1. A student is considered to be in good standing when maintaining an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) or higher. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 (C) will be placed on academic probation.
  2. When a student is placed on probation, a letter to this effect shall be mailed to the student’s residence. When a student on academic probation raises his or her cumulative grade point average—for all work attempted at IU Southeast and elsewhere—to at least 2.0, the student is released from probation and notified by mail.
  3. A student whose cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 (C) and who fails to make better than a C average during an academic term shall be suspended.
  4. Whenever a student is suspended, a letter to this effect shall be mailed to the current residence and a copy placed in the student’s file.
  5. A student who has been suspended for the first time may be readmitted upon successful petition to the school or division dean.
  6. A student who has been readmitted after an initial suspension and who is again suspended shall not be eligible for readmission until after a full semester (excluding summer sessions) has elapsed and then only with the permission of the school or division dean.
  7. A student admitted initially on probation shall be granted two semesters to attain a minimum GPA of 2.0. If such a student fails to attain a 2.0 GPA after two semesters, he or she shall be suspended and may not apply for readmission until after a full semester (excluding summer sessions) has elapsed.
  8. The director of the Academic Success Center may certify and transfer to the bachelor’s degree schools and divisions any student who has completed the entry requirements of his or her chosen school or division.
