Academic Warning Status

To remove academic warning status, a student must have at least a 3.2 graduate cumulative GPA by the time the next 9 graduate credits are completed.  Students on academic warning or who are reinstated may register for a maximum of 9 credits in a semester, 3 credits in a five-week summer term, and 6 credits for the combined summer terms. Students are not allowed to apply to an additional Ball State graduate program or certificate while on academic warning.

All requests for overloads or exceptions to the established minimum course load must be accompanied by a written statement from the student’s advisor, committee chairperson, or department chairperson justifying the request based on academic considerations only. Requests will be acted on by the dean of the Graduate School.

If academic warning status is not removed, the student’s admission to graduate study will be canceled, they will be academically separated, 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.
