2025-2026 Graduate Catalog

Academic Warning Status

Students will be placed on academic warning if their cumulative graduate GPA falls below 3.0 at any time after completion of 9 credits.

To remove academic warning status, a student must have at least a 3.0 graduate cumulative GPA by the time the next 9 graduate credits are completed. Students are not allowed to apply to an additional Ball State graduate program or certificate while on academic warning . 

If academic warning status is not removed, the student’s admission to graduate study will be canceled, and additional graduate study will not be possible until the student has reapplied for reinstatement, which they may do only if they were not originally admitted through the earned admission process.
