Satisfactory Academic Progress

How often is progress checked?

Your progress at Indiana University Kokomo will be checked when you apply for aid, submit a FAFSA, or after spring grades from the prior year are recorded, whichever is later.

What are the requirements?

  • A program grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better, or the GPA required for your degree, if it is higher.
  • Successfully complete 67% of total attempted coursework.
  • Complete their degrees in no more than 150% of the published credit hours requirement, appeal/monitoring begins at 150 hrs or 130% of the number of hours required for your degree.

Attempted coursework includes courses that are repeated or X'ed. Courses dropped at the beginning of the term where no W grade is assigned (generally the first week of the course), are not counted as attempted courses. Attempted coursework also includes all accepted transfer credit hours. Grades of W, F, FN, FNN, FX, DX, CX, NC, and I (Incomplete) are not considered successful completion of a course.

Undergraduates seeking a second bachelor's degree will be evaluated by the same standards as other undergraduate students.

  • Program grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better or the GPA required for your degree if higher than 3.0.
  • Successfully complete 67% of total attempted coursework.
  • Complete their degrees having attempted no more than 150% of the published credit hours requirement, appeal/monitoring begins at 130% of the number of hours required for your degree.

Students who have received a bachelor's degree and are taking preparatory coursework in order to gain admission to an IU Kokomo graduate program are permitted, if approved, to receive loans at the undergraduate level for up to a twelve-month period.

Such students must list all the classes they will be taking over the next twelve month period as pre-requisites for admission to their IU Kokomo graduate program of choice. The IU Kokomo graduate program that the student wishes to enter must affirm that once the preparatory coursework is successfully completed, the student will, in fact, be admitted to the program. Please note that this is for coursework that must be completed prior to admission, not coursework to raise a GPA for admission purposes.
