GRADUATE PROGRAMS 4215<br />
Prerequisites<br />
Graduate programs often have prerequisites and require<br />
course work that students must complete prior to<br />
being formally admitted as a graduate student. These<br />
prerequisites vary greatly with each graduate program<br />
and, in many cases, are at the undergraduate level<br />
and cannot be counted towards the graduate degree.<br />
Graduate students should make an appointment to meet<br />
with a program advisor regarding prerequisites.<br />
Teaching/Licensing Requirements<br />
Licensed teachers are required to meet educational goals<br />
through course work at regular intervals to maintain<br />
and/or renew teacher licensing. The School of Education<br />
certification officer provides advising for these students.<br />
Professional and Personal Development<br />
Many professions require continuing education for<br />
maintaining licensure and credentialling or to remain<br />
current within educational and professional disciplines.<br />
Individuals wishing to enroll in course work must meet<br />
necessary prerequisites, obtain permission from the<br />
graduate program director prior to enrolling, and provide<br />
sufficient documentation of academic competence.<br />

Academic Regulations and Policies<br />
Academic Integrity<br />
Students are expected to adhere to the highest ethical<br />
standards in all their course work and research.<br />
Individuals violating that code of conduct are subject to<br />
disciplinary action; such breaches could lead to expulsion<br />
of the student from <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> or to rescission<br />
of a degree already granted. The <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
Graduate School has prepared a document entitled<br />
Integrity in Graduate Study, which, among other topics,<br />
deals with plagiarism, fraud, and conflicts of interest.<br />
Academic Standing<br />
The university has established levels of competency,<br />
according to grade point average and semesters<br />
completed, which determine whether a graduate student<br />
is in good standing, on probation, or ineligible to<br />
continue studies.<br />
Good Standing<br />
Those students who consistently maintain a minimum GPA<br />
on their cumulative and semester records as defined by the<br />
graduate program in which the student is formally admitted.<br />
Probation<br />
Students are on probation for the duration of the next<br />
regular semester or summer session following one in which<br />
the minimum GPA was not obtained and/or maintained.<br />
Dismissal<br />
Students may be dismissed from graduate programs if<br />
they do not maintain satisfactory academic standing as<br />
defined by the student’s program of study.<br />
Addition of Courses<br />
A graduate student who wishes to enroll in additional<br />
course work after the first two weeks of a regular<br />
semester, or after the first week of a summer session,<br />
may do so if the instructor of the course, the graduate<br />
advisor, and the graduate program director recommend<br />
to the dean that this be done.<br />
Note: Special fees are assessed for most late registrations.<br />

Each graduate degree offered through IU <strong>South</strong> <strong>Bend</strong><br />
