Any Liberal Arts undergraduate in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight ELECTIVE COURSES to be taken with a grad of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option can be used for a maximum of two courses per year, including summer sessions. The course selected may not be used to satisfy any of the major or school distribution requirements, with the exception of the 300-400 level course requirement. (Area III).
The grade replacement policy is to allow students who have done poorly in a course to repeat the course and remove the weight of the earlier grade from their cumulative GPA. A student may exercise the grade replacement policy no more than two times for a single course. Each attempted replacement will count towards the 15 credit hour limit.
A student may exercise the grade replacement policy for a maximum of 15 hours. The 15 credit hour limit includes any courses previously replaced using the FX policy.
The School of Liberal Arts has adopted a modified version of the IUPUI forgiveness policy for students who have been out of school for five years. For more information about the policy, call 317-274-3976 or come to Cavanaugh Hall, Room 401.
Either students of faculty members may petition for a change in course grade. A student desiring a change of grade shall first discuss the situation with the instructor. If the instructor agrees, and no more than one full semester has elapsed since the course was finished, the faculty member shall file a grade change authorization form with the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. If more than one full semester has elapsed, the faculty member still files the Grade Change Authorization form, but the form may be sent to the SLA Academic Affairs Committee, depending on the reason given for the change of grade.
If the instructor and the student do not agree on a changed grade, or if the instructor cannot be located, the student should discuss the matter with the chairperson, director, or coordinator of the department or program in which the course was offered. Following that, the student may petition the SLA Academic Affairs Committee directly using the Change of Grade Petition form; these forms are available in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. The petition must include (1) a statement of attempted but unsuccessful interview with the faculty member and chair, and (2) supporting evidence for the petition.
Students are placed on academic probation when their cumulative grade point average falls below a 2.0 (C), and they remain on probation until the cumulative grade point average is 2.0 (C) or better. Students on probation are encouraged to talk with faculty advisor or with a counselor in the Miriam Z. Langsam Office of Student Affairs (CA 401), 317-274-3976, or IUPUI Counseling and Psychological Services, 317-274-2548, to determine how they may become more successful in their studies. Students on probation must go to their faculty advisors before registering. Students without a faculty advisor should go to the Miriam Z. Langsam Office of Student Affairs.
Students who have two semesters with a grade point average below 2.0 (C) may be placed on probation at the discretion of the School of Liberal Arts dean of students regardless of their cumulative grade point average, since they are failing to make progress toward a degree.
Students will be dismissed from the School of Liberal Arts when they have a cumulative grade point average lower than 2.0 (C) and grade point averages of lower than 2.0 (C) for two semesters. (For part-time students, 12 credit hours or fewer may be considered equivalent to one semester.) Students eligible for dismissal will be notified in writing that they have been dismissed and that they must remain out of school at least one semester. The letter will also inform such students that they will be withdrawn from classes for which they have registered. Once dismissed, students must petition for readmission. (See "Readmission")
Students who have been dismissed a second time must remain out of school for at least two semesters and petition for readmission. (See "Readmission")
A third dismissal is final.
Any student who has been dismissed from the School of Liberal Arts (or its equivalent on another campus) must petition for readmission. A petition for Readmission form may be obtained from the Miriam Z. Langsam Office of Student Affairs (Cavanaugh Hall, Room 401).
Petitions for readmission must be filed by the following deadlines:
To enroll for the fall semester: July 15
To enroll for the spring semester: November 15
To enroll for summer session: April 15
