Academic Policies & Procedures
Academic Standing
Academic Warning
A student whose semester grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.0, but whose cumulative GPA is a 2.0 or higher will be placed on academic warning. Students on academic warning will be required to meet with their academic advisor before being able to register for classes. A student will be advised of academic warning status by letter from the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.Academic Probation
A student whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.0 will be placed on probation. The student may continue studies provided the student achieves a GPA of at least 2.0 for each semester while on probation. Once the cumulative GPA is at least 2.0, the student will be removed from probationary status. A student will be advised of probationary status by letter from the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.Dismissal
A student on probation who has completed a minimum of 12 IUPUI grade point average (GPA) hours is subject to dismissal if the student fails to attain a GPA of at least 2.0 in any two consecutive IUPUI semesters (fall and spring), including the semester that the student was first placed on probation.A student can also be dismissed from the university when, in the opinion of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the School of Science, the student has ceased making progress in the degree program.
Readmission
A student dismissed for the first time must remain out of school at least one regular (fall or spring) semester. During the semester out of school, the student may petition the School of Science for readmission. A student dismissed for the second time must remain out of school at least two regular semesters (fall and spring), but may petition for readmission during the second semester out of school. Readmission after a second dismissal is extremely rare.In order to allow sufficient time for considering a petition for readmission, a student eligible to submit a petition should do so before June 15 for the fall semester, October 15 for the spring semester, or March 15 for either summer session.
A student readmitted will be so informed by letter from the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The letter will indicate any conditions and restrictions affecting readmission and continuance in the degree program.
