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

Students will be Academically Dismissed from the Kelley School of Business if their academic transcript reflects any of the following during their Probation semester:

1. A Program Term GPA of below a 2.500
2. Does not earn a minimum of 12 credit hours by the end of the probation semester.
   1. If enrolled in less than 12 credit hours at the start of the semester, failure to earn the number of credit hours student was enrolled in at the start of the semester.

Students will be Academically Dismissed from the Kelley School of Business outside of an Academic Probation semester if they earn a Program Cumulative GPA of below a 2.000 for a second time at any point in their undergraduate career.

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.
