Academic Alert and Ineligibility

The University sets standards of academic performance that students are expected to maintain. Students failing to meet the minimum standards either are placed on alert or declared ineligible to re-enroll, based on the cumulative grade point average.

Academic alert is determined three times a year (at the conclusion of Semester I, Semester II, and Summer Session) by total hours and minimum cumulative grade point average as indicated in the Academic Alert chart below. Students on academic alert are eligible for continued enrollment at UIndy provided they do not fall below the academic ineligibility threshold (see the Academic Ineligibility chart below). Students on alert are restricted to 13 hours per regular semester (Semester I and Semester II) and are not eligible for active participation in any organization that represents the institution officially.

Academic eligibility is determined at the conclusion of Semester I and Semester II each year for most undergraduate students. Students whose GPA is below the minimum cumulative GPA required (see the Academic Ineligibility chart below) are given two regular semesters (Semester I and Semester II) to raise their GPA to the minimum standard listed below. They are restricted to 13 credit hours per regular semester (Semester I and Semester II) and are not eligible for active participation in any organization that represents the institution officially. If the student does not meet the minimum standard listed below by the end of the second regular semester, the student will be declared academically ineligible and will not be allowed to enroll in the next semester. For students who are admitted on a part-time basis, eligibility is determined at the end of each enrollment period. Any student who has been declared academically ineligible may not return to the University until one regular semester (Semester I or II) has elapsed. Following an absence of at least one regular semester, an ineligible student may petition the Academic Petitions Committee for readmission. (Petitions are available in the Office of the Registrar or on the Registrar's website). Decisions for readmission will be based on evidence that the applicant is prepared to improve the quality of his or her work.

Academic alert and ineligibility are determined by total hours and minimum cumulative grade point average, or GPA, as indicated below.

* Total hours calculated in determining academic alert and/or ineligibility include (1) quality hours (hours recorded in graded classes), (2) transfer hours, and (3) hours earned by examination or portfolio
