1. Reinstatement will be the decision of the school to which students are petitioning.
2. Students' chances of readmission will be enhanced by taking workshops, removing grades of incomplete, undertaking assessment of their academic problems, and providing evidence of their ability to complete successful academic work upon their reinstatement to IUPUI.
3. Students who are reinstated will be classified as probationary students until their cumulative IU GPA is 2.0 or above. During the first regularly enrolled semester on probation, the student must achieve a semester GPA of at least a 2.3. In each subsequent semester on probation, the student must achieve a semester GPA of 2.0. Failure to meet the semester GPA requirement will result in dismissal.
4. Students who are reinstated must register before the first day of classes of the term for which they are reinstated. If a student does not register, registration will be blocked on the first day of classes. In addition, a note will be placed in the student's file indicating that the student failed to meet the registration deadline.
5. Readmission after a second dismissal is extremely rare. Students' chances of readmission will be enhanced by taking workshops, removing grades of incomplete, undertaking assessment of their academic problems, and providing evidence of their ability to complete successful academic work upon their reinstatement to IUPUI.

Please Note

The School of Liberal Arts, School of Science, and University College, in agreement with this common policy, will honor academic probation and dismissal status from other units when students have an IU cumulative GPA below 2.0.

Students may also be academically dismissed or released from a particular program if they do not make consistent and appropriate academic progress relevant to their fields of study. This is left to the discretion of the appropriate officer in the school.

University College policy concerning academic dismissal is that students who are dismissed for the first time from IUPUI, IU Bloomington, Purdue, IU regional campuses, or other IUPUI schools must sit out for a minimum of one regular (fall or spring) semester and petition by the established deadlines to be eligible for reinstatement.

When a student wishes to appeal a decision made by University College faculty, administrators, or staff regarding academic misconduct, requirements, or policies, the student should first attempt to resolve the issue by discussing his or her concerns with the member of the university involved in the dispute. If the matter is not resolved to the complainant’s satisfaction by contacting the person(s) involved, the University College formal appeals process should be invoked.

This appeals process does not generally apply in cases of grade change appeals based on quality of work for which the final decision rests with the faculty member and/or course coordinator. It can only be used for grade appeals when there is a procedural or policy issue involved.

All appeals are subject to relevant campus policies and procedures as well as the University College appeals process outlined below. Thus, the appeals process for academic misconduct outlined in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct will be followed in all University College academic appeals. The items below clarify implementation of the stated university process within University College.

1. The student meets with the assistant dean/director of advising of University College to discuss options for resolution of the problem.
2. If the problem is not resolved in the meeting with the assistant dean/director of advising of University College, student may submit a letter to the associate dean of academic affairs within seven calendar days of the meeting with the assistant dean/director of advising (excluding university recognized holidays and breaks) requesting that the matter be handled by the Appeals Board.
3. The appeal is considered by the University College Appeals Board formed by the associate dean of academic affairs. This committee is comprised of three members of the University College Curriculum Committee, associate dean for academic affairs, and two student representatives from the University College Student Council. The associate dean of academic affairs will appoint a faculty member to serve as the presiding officer and to convene the Appeals Board. Procedures for convening and holding the Appeals Board hearing will follow the process for academic misconduct as stated in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.
4. The Appeals Board is the final decision-making body for all University College academic appeals unless a documentable procedural error occurred during the Appeals Board process in which case a final appeal may be made to the executive vice chancellor. In such a case, the procedures outlined in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct will be followed.

The purpose of the Behavioral Consultation Team (BCT) is to assist in addressing situations where students, faculty, or staff are displaying behavior that may not be appropriate for the IUPUI campus environment. For more information, please follow the link below:

To avoid delays in processing your request, please read the following guidelines carefully and complete all requested information.
