Academic Probation Policy for Continuing Students
Students are placed on probation any time their cumulative GPA falls below their division or program GPA of good standing. Individual divisions and programs vary in their policies. Contact individual programs for further information on probation.
At IUPUC, a 2.0 cumulative GPA is the minimum necessary to be considered in good academic standing. Students below this GPA are not making progress toward degree completion and are subject to dismissal from the university.
Students whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 will be placed on probation. Students will be informed by letter of their probationary status. Students may be continued on probation when their semester GPA is above a 2.0 but their cumulative GPA is below a 2.0.
Students will be removed from their probationary status once their cumulative GPA is above 2.0.
Academic Probation/Dismissal Policy for Beginning Students
