Prior to admission to general studies, a student must meet with a general studies academic adviser and complete the School of Continuing Studies Application Form. There is no separate fee for admission to general studies. Students not enrolled in college or university courses for one calendar year or more may be admitted if they have completed a minimum of fifteen credit hours toward the general studies degree. Students dismissed from Indiana University or from other colleges or universities and whose CGPA is below 2.0, may be admitted to general studies after one calendar year from the date of dismissal. Students who have made an unsatisfactory start at Indiana University may qualify for readmission under the School of Continuing Studies academic bankruptcy policy.
Advisers work in partnership with students to assist in developing an appropriate academic program.
However, the primary responsibility for program development and for meeting all degree requirements does rest with the student. This course is required of all students. Each general studies degree consists of required credit hours in the three subject fields in the College of Arts and Sciences and elective credit hours in any of the colleges of the university. Degree Requirements 1. 45 maximum credit hours accepted in transfer from other colleges and universities 2.0 minimum cumulative grade point average required in all Indiana University courses and in all courses completed after admission to general studies 2.
