Academic Policies & Regulations

Special Academic Regulation for Students in The Department of Public Policy

Requirements for the undergraduate degree should be completed within 10 years of admission to the Department of Public Policy. You may transfer no more than 88 credit hours (60 credits from a junior college) toward a Bachelor of Science. A maximum of 10 credits will be awarded on the basis of military training toward any degree from the department.

Good Standing

Students in our major should maintain a minimum semester and cumulative GPA of 2.00 and a minimum core/ concentration GPA of 2.30. Therefore, you will be placed on academic probation if your semester or cumulative GPA at the end of any regular semester is lower than these minimum standards. Once on probation, you may be dismissed from from IPFW if you fail to make significant progress toward good standing, or if you fail to meet the minimum IPFW standards listed in Part 8 of the Bulletin.
