Academically At-Risk Students
Students who are having academic difficulty are encouraged to talk with their
course instructor and/or academic advisor as soon as possible.The instructor
and/or advisor can often provide helpful information and suggestions that
prevent the student from experiencing academic probation or suspension from
the University.
Academic Probation and Suspension Procedures (Probation, Suspension,
Readmission) can be found at
ius.edu/registrar
.
A student whose cumulative program GPA falls below 2.0 (C), and who has
attempted at least six (6) credits of IU coursework, will be placed on academic
probation.
When a student is placed on academic probation, a letter to this effect shall be
sent to the student and an electronic copy will be kept in the Registrar’s office
and sent to your school/division. When a student on academic probation raises
his or her cumulative GPA to at least 2.0, the student is released from
probation.
