3. A grade below C (2.0) has been received in a required didactic course, or a grade of F has been earned in a required practicum/clinical course. This includes required general education courses, as well as nursing major courses.

   1. failure to meet course objectives
   2. academic dishonesty, misconduct, or personal misconduct as defined by Indiana University;
