Academic Probation

A student is placed on academic probation following any enrollment period in which they fail to attain a minimum program cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.

Academic Dismissal

A student who earns a subsequent semester GPA and a program cumulative GPA below a 2.0 in any term after being on academic probation, will be dismissed from the Kelley School.

Dismissals can be temporary or permanent depending on the student's course of actions. After a student is academically dismissed, they have two options for continuing their education:

• Remain away from Indiana University for at least one calendar year. 
• Continue at Indiana University as a student in a different academic unit.  Please note that if a student enrolls at an Indiana University campus anytime during their one-year dismissal period, they are disqualified from ever returning to the Kelley School of Business. This results in being permanently dismissed from Kelley.

Academic Reinstatement 

Students who remain away from Indiana University for at least one calendar year have the opportunity to apply for reinstatement.  To be considered for reinstatement, students must complete one or more of the following activities during their dismissal period:

• Attend another regionally accredited institution and earn a minimum of a 2.5 GPA in at least 12 credit hours with no grade below a C.
• Actively engage in an employment or volunteer opportunity.
• Work on any significant personal issues that led to their current academic difficulty. 

Students whose reinstatement application is determined to meet the minimum requirements for reinstatement will be invited for an interview with a committee of advisors for further examination of ability to successfully return to the Kelley School of Business.

If a student is academically reinstated to the Kelley School of Business, they will return to Kelley on academic probation.

Permanent Dismissal

If a student is academically reinstated to the Kelley School of Business and fails to meet the minimum GPA and grade requirements as outlined in the academic dismissal policy, the student will be permanently dismissed from the Kelley School of Business and unable to return at any time.
