Policies

Probation, Suspension, Readmission

The IU Southeast Undergraduate Academic Probation and Suspension Policy (APSP) is designed to inform students of academic performance expectations, provide a structure for consistent intervention when students are not performing well, and connect students with the staff and resources that can help facilitate their academic success.  The APSP applies to undergraduate students only and takes precedence over qualification for student financial aid and/or maintaining student visa status.  For more information about the policy, please consult the full APSP, located on the IU Southeast Registrar's home page (www.ius.edu/registrar).

  1. A student is considered to be in good standing when maintaining an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) or higher. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 (C) and who has attempted at least six credit hours of IU coursework, will be placed on academic probation.
  2. When a student on academic probation raises his or her cumulative grade point average—for all work attempted at IU Southeast and elsewhere—to at least 2.0, the student is released from probation.
  3. Students on academic probation who earn a 2.0 (C) semester Program GPA or higher, but still have below a 2.0 Program cumulative GPA are placed on continued academic probation.
  4. When a student on academic probation fails to make a 2.0 semester Program GPA or higher in all attempted IU coursework during an academic semester, the student shall be academically suspended.  Students fulfilling a first suspension are not eligible to take classes at IU Southeast for one semester; this includes both summer and fall semesters after a spring suspension.
  5. After fulfililng the terms of a first suspension, a student may return to IU Southeast after meeting with an academic advisor or designated academic administrator.
  6. A student who has been academically suspended once before and is still below a 2.0 cumulative Program GPA and who fails to earn a 2.0 semester Program GPA in a subsequent semester will be academically suspended for a second time.
  7. After fulfilling the terms of a second academic suspension, a student may appeal for reinstatement to the dean of his/her School or a designated academic administrator.  Reinstatement after a second suspension is not guaranteed.
  8. A student who has been academically suspended twice before and is still below a 2.0 cumulative Program GPA and who fails to earn a 2.0 semester Program GPA in a subsequent semester will be academically dismissed from IU Southeast.
  9. Students who are dismissed are no longer eligible to take classes at IU Southeast and may not appeal for immediate reinstatement.  In some justifiable circumstances and with approval from a student’s dean, or a designated academic administrator, a student may return to IU Southeast after sitting out for two full years. Students must contact the Office of Admissions before returning. It is highly recommended that students wishing to pursue reinstatement at this point complete an academic bankruptcy and/or show proof of academic success at another college or university. If a student is allowed to return, he/she must earn a 2.0 semester Program GPA every semester from that point forward. Failure to do so will result in permanent dismissal.
