The minimum standard for academic good standing at Indiana University East is a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0, or a C average.

Chancellor's List

The Chancellor’s List is tabulated each semester for full-time students. It includes any student in good standing at the conclusion of the semester who completed at least twelve (12) credit hours of graded coursework and attained a 4.0 grade point average in that semester.

Dean's List

The Dean’s List is tabulated each semester for full-time students. It includes any student in good standing at the conclusion of the semester who completed at least twelve (12) credit hours of graded coursework, attained a grade point average of 3.50 or higher in that semester, and does not qualify for the Chancellor’s List.

For part-time students, an annual Dean’s List is tabulated at the conclusion of the summer semester. It includes any student in good standing during the academic year who completed at least twelve (12) credit hours of graded coursework on a part-time basis over Fall, Spring and/or Summer and who accumulated a grade point average of 3.50 or higher in those semesters. May graduates are eligible.

Definition of “completed credit hours”:

• For credit hours to be counted as “completed,” the student must have achieved a passing grade at the time student records are evaluated for Chancellor’s and Dean’s Lists eligibility.
• “Pass” (P) and “Satisfactory” (S) grades, while not used in GPA calculation, are considered passing grades and counted toward the 12-credit minimum requirement.
• “Incomplete” (I) and “Deferred” (R) grades, while not used in GPA calculation, are _not _considered passing grades and are therefore not counted toward the 12-credit minimum requirement.
• The evaluation of student records for Chancellor’s and Dean’s Lists eligibility occurs ten business days after the deadline for faculty to have their grades posted. Eligibility is based on the number of completed credit hours as of that day. The Chancellor’s and Dean’s Lists will not be altered retroactively after the completion of “I” or “R” graded courses.
