After a student is Academically Dismissed, they have two options for continuing their education:

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.

Students whose Reinstatement Application is determined to meet the minimum requirements for reinstatement will be invited for an interview with the Reinstatement Committee 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. This includes students who are Academic Reinstated and use the Fresh Start Policy.
