Hours Requirements Students mustsuccessfully complete a minimum of 120 credithours for most of the Bachelor of Sciencedegrees and a minimum of 60 credit hours forthe Associate of Science degree. However, theBachelor of Science in Environmental Sciencerequires 122 credit hours. The campus atwhich a student completes the plurality ofrequired course work will award the degree,provided that campus is authorized to grantthe degree/major/concentration and that thestudent has been admitted to that campus.Students may transfer no more than 90 credithours (60 credits from a junior college) towarda Bachelor of Science degree or 30 credit hourstoward an Associate of Science degree. Classstanding, based on total credit hours thatcount toward minimum degree requirements,is as follows: senior, 86 or more; junior, 56-85;sophomore, 26-55; freshman, fewer than 26.

Grade Point Average Requirement Aminimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 is requiredfor the B.S. and A.S. degrees. In addition, aSPEA core and major/concentration GPA of2.30 must be maintained in order to graduate.As a joint degree from the College of Arts andSciences and the School of Public Affairs, theB.S. in Environmental Science does not requirea GPA of 2.30 in the major/concentration. Forstudents seeking certificates or minors fromSPEA, the minimum GPA requirement is 2.00in all applicable course work.

Double-Counting Generally, courses takento meet a specific degree requirement cannotbe double-counted (used to satisfy any otherdegree requirement). Two exceptions to thisrule are: Environmental Management majorsmay double-count SPEA E272, Introduction toEnvironmental Sciences, as a core andmajor/concentration requirement, and SPEAstudents earning a SPEA minor may double-count two minor courses.

Application for Degree All students mustfill out an application for degree at the SPEARecords office on their campus. Thisapplication is usually filed six months beforethe expected graduation date.

Degrees Awarded with Distinction SPEArecognizes outstanding performance byawarding bachelor’s and associate degreeswith three levels of distinction to students whorank within the upper 10 percent of their SPEAgraduating class and have completed aminimum of 60 hours at Indiana University fora B.S. (30 hours for the A.S.). The levels ofdistinction are as follows: highest: 3.90 and

above, high: 3.70 through 3.89, distinction: 3.50through 3.69.

Requirements for a Second Bachelor’s DegreeStudents must petition for approval to worktoward a second bachelor’s degree. If permissionis granted, students are required to take 30credit hours beyond the credits used for thefirst bachelor’s degree and satisfy all therequirements for the second degree. Generally,SPEA encourages students to work toward agraduate degree rather than a secondbachelor’s degree.

Available Options A student in goodacademic standing may choose to take amaximum of eight elective courses (two peracademic year) pass/fail for the B.S. degree ortwo courses for the A.S. degree. Deadlines forexercising this option are published in theSchedule of Classes and are strictly enforced.

With prior approval, a student may take threecourses, totaling no more than 10 credit hours,by correspondence through the IU Division ofExtended Studies, Independent StudyProgram. Under no circumstances may astudent satisfy a core or major/concentrationrequirement by correspondence.

With SPEA faculty approval, a student in goodstanding may earn a maximum of 9 credithours through the SPEA internship program.Fort Wayne limits the internship to 12 credithours: six credit hours within theconcentration/major electives and anadditional six credit hours that can count forgeneral electives. The SPEA internshipprogram is described in more detail elsewherein this bulletin.

SPEA students may choose to pursue a minorfrom another school, department, or withinSPEA in an area other than their degree ormajor/concentration. Students interested in aminor should contact that department foradditional information.

Honors and AcceleratedMaster’s ProgramsSophomores and juniors who have completedat least 45 credit hours with a cumulativegrade point average of 3.50 or higher mayapply for the Honors Program. The primaryrequirements are that a student maintain the3.50 GPA, successfully complete designatedhonors courses, and write a senior thesis.Students may propose a unique course ofstudy in consultation with the SPEA honorsadvisor.

The Accelerated Master’s Program (A.M.P.) isa competitive program for outstanding SPEAstudents. Students may apply to the Master ofPublic Affairs (M.P.A.), the Master of HealthAdministration (M.H.A.) or the Master of


Grading Policies SPEA follows the officialgrading system of Indiana University, which isas follows:

A+, A = 4.00 C = 2.00A– = 3.70 C– = 1.70B+ = 3.30 D+ = 1.30B = 3.00 D = 1.00B– = 2.70 D– = 0.70C+ = 2.30 F = 0.00

The following grades carry no points: I(Incomplete—an Incomplete will change to anF if the work is not completed within the timeperiod specified by the instructor [aninstructor can specify any period of time up toone year]), NR (No Grade Reported), P (Pass),R (Deferred), S (Satisfactory), W (Withdrawal—check the current Schedule of Classes fordeadlines). SPEA students who have retaken apreviously failed course (must be the samedepartment and course number) may requestto have only the last grade computed in theirgrade point average. The original F will bereplaced by the FX grade. Requests will behonored only for a maximum of three courses,totaling no more than 10 credit hours. If acourse is failed twice, only one F can beremoved. The Indianapolis campus has anexpanded policy in regards to computing thecumulative GPA. When a course is taken asecond time, students may replace five gradesfor a total of 15 hours.

Good Academic Standing Students are ingood academic standing when their semesterand their cumulative grade point averages are2.00 or above, and their grade point average inall courses counting in the SPEA core andmajor/concentration requirements is at least2.30. Students must be in good academicstanding to graduate.

Probation Students will be placed onacademic probation if their cumulative orsemester grade point average is below 2.00 ortheir SPEA core and major/concentration GPAfalls below 2.30. In order for the core andmajor/concentration GPA to be considered,students must have completed 12 or morecredit hours in the core and major/concentration.

Critical Probation After one semester onprobation, students who fail to return to goodacademic standing will be placed on criticalprobation. At the discretion of theundergraduate program director, thesestudents could be dismissed. If a student isgiven the opportunity to enroll under criticalprobation, SPEA will establish strict conditionsthat must be met before that student will beallowed to register for future classes.

Dismissal Students can be dismissed if theyfail to return to good academic standing afterone semester on critical probation. Studentsmay also be dismissed if, in the opinion of the

undergraduate program director, they are notmaking satisfactory progress toward theirdegrees.

Readmission Dismissed students mustpetition their campus undergraduate programdirector for readmission. Dismissed studentswhose petitions are denied will not be allowedto register.

Grade Appeals Students have one year toappeal a grade given by a SPEA facultymember. Resolution of the issue with the classinstructor must be attempted beforesubmitting a written appeal to the appropriateprogram director.

The Rotterdam program is a one-semesterprogram that allows students to take 15 credithours in the general area of public affairs. TheParliamentary internship is available with orwithout course work and is offered eachsemester and during the summer (theAustralian winter). In addition, IU offersmany other officially approved study abroadprograms that can, with the authorization ofyour advisor, count for SPEA credit.

All these programs are taught in English, andthe IU credit obtained costs the same as itwould if you remained on campus. Financialaid that you have obtained for your studies isnormally applied to these overseasexperiences. Experience has taught us thatstudying abroad does not adversely affectyour GPA, increase your cost of study, ordelay your graduation, even though manypeople seem to think one or all of these thingswill happen.

Our purpose in creating these study abroadopportunities is to provide you with a uniquechance to broaden your horizons, help youprepare yourself for a world that is becomingmuch more international and global, and allowyou to challenge yourself by facing somethingnew. Of course, there are opportunities totravel and socialize as well as study—and thatis all part of the educational experience. Morethan 200 SPEA students have benefited fromthis opportunity. There are many programsfrom which to choose, and students areadvised to make use of the overseas studyresource center on the third floor of FranklinHall. For further information, consult SPEA’sinternational program office in SPEA 241.

2. Contact the department chairperson (or thedesignated advisor) at the campus you planto attend. Discuss your plan and ask aboutany special procedures. For example,students transferring in fine arts mustsubmit portfolios of their work. Musictransfer students must be auditioned.

3. As the date of transfer approaches, checkwith your campus registrar to getinformation on registration dates andprocedures on the other campus. If there is apreregistration or preenrollment procedureat the other campus, you should plan to takeadvantage of it. Contact the registrar of theother campus to determine whether you canfulfill any of these responsibilities by phone.Your registrar has a direct telephone line toall other registrars.

4. When you arrive on the new campus,contact your assigned academic adviser ordepartment chairperson as soon aspossible. Discuss your academic progressto date and the additional course workrequired for your program.
