Policies and Procedures

Academic Review and Dismissal

A student is considered in good academic standing with the university when maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (C average) or higher.

Academic Review
  1. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 will be placed on academic review.
  2. Students may be continued on academic review when the semester GPA is at least a 2.0, but the cumulative GPA is below a 2.0.
  3. Students will be removed from academic review status once the cumulative GPA is at least 2.0.
Academic Dismissal
  1. Students on academic review at IU Indianapolis will be dismissed if they fail to attain a semester GPA of at least 2.0 in any two consecutive semesters (fall and spring), and the cumulative GPA is below 2.0.
  2. Students who are dismissed for the first time cannot enroll until one regular (fall or spring) semester has elapsed since dismissal and must petition by the established deadlines to be reinstated.
  3. Students dismissed two or more times must remain out of school for the next two consecutive regular (fall and spring) semesters and petition by the established deadlines to be reinstated.
First-Semester Student Dismissal
  1. A first‐semester student who has attempted a minimum of 12 IU Indianapolis credit hours will be dismissed if the student fails to attain a GPA of at least 1.0.
  2. Students who are dismissed for the first time must sit out until one regular (fall or spring) semester has elapsed since dismissal and must petition by the established deadlines to be reinstated.
Reinstatement
  1. Reinstatement will be the decision of the academic unit to which the student is petitioning.
  2. Students who are reinstated will be classified as under academic review until the cumulative GPA is at least 2.0. During the first regularly enrolled term in academic review status, the student must achieve a semester GPA of 2.0. In each subsequent semester under review, the student must achieve a semester GPA of at least 2.0. Failure to meet the semester GPA requirement while under review will result in dismissal.
Notice of Placement of Students in Academic Review or Dismissal Standing
  1. The Office of the Registrar will centrally identify students who qualify for campus academic review and dismissal once grades are official for each semester.
  2. The Office of the Registrar will provide schools/units with a list of students who qualify for academic review and dismissal once grades are official for each semester.
  3. Schools/units shall provide notification of academic review or dismissal standing by email by one week before the beginning of classes of the following semester.
  4.  When a unit has established higher standards for academic review and dismissal, that unit is responsible for completing the additional review.
