GPA Requirements
The following table indicates the cumulative grade-point averages (GPA) that will result in the application of academic sanctions. The table also indicates term grade-point averages that may result in students receiving a letter of academic warning. Academic standing is assessed after final grades are due for fall and spring terms only (excluding summer terms). Students who complete 12+ credits during the summer terms from IWU’s residential campus that raise their GPAs, may request their academic standing be reassessed within 7 days of their grades being verified. Academic Standing will not be reassessed after the beginning of the semester.
Students should also review specific GPA and additional requirements for progression within their individual majors/degrees.
