Principles of Undergraduate Learning IUPUI

10

Undergraduate education at IUPUI, in all academic and professional programs, is structured around six general Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs). These six principles highlight core skills and ways of thinking and learning that are important not just for academic success and achievement but also for future careers, graduate education, and lifelong learning. Students will find connections between their specific courses of study and these PULs throughout their undergraduate careers at IUPUI. 1. Core Communication and Quantitative Skills The ability of students to express and interpret information, perform quantitative analysis, and use information resources and technology—the foundational skills necessary for all IUPUI students to succeed. Core communication and quantitative skills are demonstrated by the student’s ability to: • Express ideas and facts to others effectively in a variety of formats, particularly written, oral, and visual formats • Comprehend, interpret, and analyze ideas and facts • Communicate effectively in a range of settings • Identify and propose solutions for problems using quantitative tools and reasoning • Make effective use of information resources and technology

2. Critical Thinking The ability of students to engage in a process of disciplined thinking that informs beliefs and actions. A student who demonstrates critical thinking applies the process of disciplined thinking by remaining openminded, reconsidering previous beliefs and actions, and adjusting his or her thinking, beliefs, and actions based on new information. The process of critical thinking begins with the ability of students to remember and understand, but it is truly realized when the student demonstrates the ability to apply, analyze, evaluate, and create knowledge, procedures, processes, or products to discern bias, challenge assumptions, identify consequences, arrive at reasoned conclusions, generate and explore new questions, solve challenging and complex problems, and make informed decisions. 3. Integration and Application of Knowledge The ability of students to use information and concepts from studies in multiple disciplines in their intellectual, professional, and community lives. Integration and application of knowledge are demonstrated by the student’s ability to: • Enhance their personal lives • Meet professional standards and competencies • Further the goals of society • Work across traditional course and disciplinary boundaries

PRINCIPLES OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION

11

4. Intellectual Depth, Breadth, and Adaptiveness The ability of students to examine and organize disciplinary ways of knowing and to apply them to specific issues and problems. Intellectual depth, breadth, and adaptiveness are demonstrated by the student’s ability to: • Show substantial knowledge and understanding of at least one field of study • Compare and contrast approaches to knowledge in different disciplines • Modify one’s approach to an issue or problem based on the contexts and requirements of particular situations 5. Understanding Society and Culture The ability of students to recognize their own cultural traditions and to understand and appreciate the diversity of the human experience. Understanding society and culture is demonstrated by the student’s ability to: • Compare and contrast the range of diversity and universality in human history, societies, and ways of life • Analyze and understand the interconnectedness of global and local communities • Operate with civility in a complex world

6. Values and Ethics The ability of students to make sound decisions with respect to individual conduct, citizenship, and aesthetics. A sense of values and ethics is demonstrated by the student’s ability to: • Make informed and principled choices and to foresee consequences of these choices • Explore, understand, and cultivate an appreciation for beauty and art • Understand ethical principles within diverse cultural, social, environmental and personal settings

Parenting

Successful College Students

Your students, along with about two million others in this country, are about to enter a time that is both exciting and frightening: a time of joy and discovery, but perhaps also a time of anxiety and disappointment. Students are beginning a period of their lives in which they will change and one day leave the campus as very different people. You are entering this period with your students. You may experience the same exhilaration and disappointments as your students, perhaps from a distance, but often as vividly or achingly.

12

Parenting College Freshmen from the Students’ Perspective Of course, no one can predict exactly what students’ first year at college may bring, but here are some suggestions that might help you make it through this first year and strengthen your new relationship. At best, these suggestions may prepare you to deal effectively with some common first-year experiences. At the least, they will make you think about your reactions to situations you may encounter. 1. Expect Change In any event, your students will change (either drastically within the first months, slowly over the college years, or somewhere in between). It is natural and inevitable, and it can be inspiring and beautiful. It can also be difficult to watch and to deal with. College, and experiences associated with it, can affect changes in social, vocational, and personal behavior. An up-to-now wallflower may become a fraternity sweetheart, a pre-med student may discover a stronger love for drama or literature, or a high school activist may become a college preppy, or vice versa.

You cannot stop change. You may not even understand it, but it is within your power (and to the advantage of both you and your students) to accept it. Remember that students will remain basically the same persons who began school, aside from interest and personality changes. 2. Remember. . . It Takes Time to Adjust The first few days and weeks of school tend to be activity packed and homework jammed. The challenge of meeting new people and adjusting to new situations takes most of new students’ time and concentration. The transition can be daunting, and some students may have moments where they long for the lives they left behind. Do not be surprised if this is the case. Still, most students adapt well to their new environment, and in time they become used to the new norm. 3. Ask Questions (but not too many) New college students are often insecure, but eager to establish their independence. They have a tendency to resent interference with their newfound lifestyles. Students, however, need the security of knowing that their families are there to support them in this search for independence.

PARENTING A SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE STUDENT

Parental curiosity can be obnoxious and alienating or relief giving and supportive, depending on the attitudes of the persons involved. Questions laced with “I-have-a-right-to-knowâ€? feelings, ulterior motives, and nagging should be avoided. However, honest inquiries and other “between friendsâ€? communication and discussion will most likely do much to enhance the parent-student relationship. 4. Need for Support Remember that students are adults, and although they sometimes need parents to lean on, they are desperately trying to prove themselves. Students need plenty of advance notice about family obligations; they may have papers to write or exams to study for. College course work is more difficult and very different from high school course work. 5. Oh! College Is Different from High School All Right‌ Students may have different hours than they had in high school. Many classes require group work, which can take place in the evenings or on weekends. Students need a supportive study environment, and if you do not see them studying, ask why. Know your students’ class schedules and when exams take place. You may need to lighten up on their family responsibilities during the most demanding times of the semesters. Encourage your students to get help at school. There are a number of services in Taylor Hall and on campus to give students that extra academic support. 6. Comon Statements Your Student Might Make‌ “I hate school.â€? “I don’t feel a part of campus.â€? “I did my homework at school.â€? “I don’t like the food.â€? “I can’t find a parking space.â€? “My professor doesn’t know my name.â€? “I am having trouble with class.â€? You may hear some of these comments, but if you stay involved, communicate, and trust your students, together you will be successful.

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Counseling and Psychological Services, located in the Union Building (Room 418), offers confidential individual, couples, and group counseling sessions. Please go to life.iupui.edu/caps/ for fee information. Students in an emotional crisis are seen on a walk-in basis. CAPS staff includes two licensed psychologists and also certified master’s level students in the fields of psychology, counseling, and social work. The graduate students also provide counseling services and are supervised by the CAPS staff. You can reach CAPS at 274-2548.

Campus Safety IUPUI cares about students’ safety and employs 38 full-time police officers and six full-time security officers. The full-time police officers are certified as law enforcement officers by the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board and meet the same standards as other enforcement officers in Indiana. There are more than 50 yellow emergency telephones on campus, many with a distinctive blue light, that are free and direct lines to the Public Safety Dispatch Center located on campus. Students can call 317-274-SAFE (7233) if they feel unsafe on campus, are locked out of their cars, or have a dead car battery, a flat tire, or an empty gas tank. Upon request, this service will provide students with an escort or other help 24 hours a day. IUPUI supports a drug-free university, which means we insist that, while on campus, students are required to be entirely free of the influence of controlled substances or alcohol. A student must not use, manufacture, distribute, dispense, or possess such substances on university property or in the course of university activities.

Parking and Transportation Services Parking on the IUPUI campus is monitored by the purchase of parking permits or by paying the daily visitor rate. Faculty, staff, and students may purchase permits online at www.parking.iupui.edu or by visiting the Parking and Transportation Services office located at 1004 West Vermont Street. Students with disabilities may contact Parking and Transportation Services to obtain a disabled permit. All available parking options can be found at parking.iupui.edu/. Parking regulations are strictly enforced and can be found on the Parking and Transportation Services website. If students believe they have received a parking citation unfairly, they can complete an appeal form at the Parking and Transportation Services office. Parking fines can be paid either online or at the office.

Libraries There are five libraries on the IUPUI campus. Each is open to all enrolled university students. The libraries are located at the School of Dentistry, Herron School of Art and Design, University Library, School of Law Indianapolis, and the School of Medicine. The dental, art, law, and medical libraries contain specialized collections reflecting their respective curricula. The collection at University Library, which supports undergraduate courses, covers a wide range of academic disciplines.

There is also a Technical Writing Center in the School of Engineering and Technology.

Telephone: 317-278-2662 Fax: 317-278-7683 Web site: csl.iupui.edu The mission of the Center for Service and Learning is to involve students, faculty, and staff in service activities that mutually benefit the campus and community. Many students come to IUPUI with a wide variety of experiences in volunteering and community service. Our goal is to keep them involved during the college years through the following programs: Scholarships The Sam H. Jones Community Service Scholarships are awarded to students for involvement in campus or community service. To be eligible, a continuing student must have 15 credit hours at IUPUI and a grade point average of at least 2.75. Incoming first-year students are eligible based on their community service in high school. Service Learning Classes Service learning is a course-based educational experience. Students in a service learning class participate and reflect on an organized service activity in the community. For example, students in a class in voice and diction might read to children at a daycare center or a class on the environment might pull invasive weeds at a local park. Through these experiences, students gain a better understanding of service learning and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility. Service learning classes are listed each semester under “service learning” in the Schedule of Classes. Volunteer Community Service Students are invited to participate with faculty and staff in community service activities during the semester. Students can also be part of a volunteer electronic distribution list to receive e-mail notices about outreach opportunities. Visit the Office of Community Service’s website (csl.iupui.edu/OCS/ index.asp) to sign up for their electronic newsletter and to learn more about the many volunteer opportunities available. America Reads/America Counts Tutoring Program Students can become a tutor for children in prekindergarten through sixth grade at one of nine community sites near campus. Only work-study students can qualify, and they earn $8.50 per hour. Hours are flexible and monthly training sessions help tutors gain confidence.

Academic Advising

20

Academic advisors are knowledgeable about all IUPUI degree programs and issues related to students’ transition from high school to college. Some of the advisors work full time in University College; others hold joint appointments with degree-granting schools. Joint advisors and school liaisons keep University College well informed about all majors at IUPUI. How can students meet with an academic advisor? Address: 815 West Michigan Street Taylor Hall, Room 3004A Indianapolis, IN 46202 Walk-In Hours: Mon – Tues: 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. Wed – Thurs: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Fri: 12 – 5 p.m. Saturday hours for 2011: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Apr. 30, Aug. 20, Aug. 27, and Dec. 10 Information: 317-274-4856 E-Mail: advising@iupui.edu Appointments: 317-274-5977 or by visiting uc.iupui.edu (click on Students and Academic Planning)

Career Counseling Career counselors guide students in making decisions about majors and careers. Professionals are available for all current IUPUI students to: • Help exploratory students decide on a major • Work with established majors to decide on a career path • Help students practice interviewing techniques

How can students meet with a career counselor? Address: 815 West Michigan Street Taylor Hall, Room 3004A Indianapolis, IN 46202 Walk-In Hours: Mon – Thurs: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 – 4 p.m. Appointments: 317-274-4856 E-Mail: career1@iupui.edu Workshop availability: ucevents.uc.iupui.edu/ Helping Students to Be Successful Students need to get connected. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for students to ask for help and to get to know the faculty, academic advisors, and other students. While students sometimes need to study alone, most successful students also use campus resources and attend mentoring sessions, which are small-group study sessions in the Bepko Learning Center (located on the second floor of Taylor Hall). Mentoring sessions supplement class attendance and afford students opportunities to review, discuss, and problem solve as a team. Some of the most common reasons students do not succeed are that they: • Do not attend class • Work too many hours (over 20 hours per week) • Do not spend time with other students reviewing course materials University College students admitted with probationary or conditional status will be limited to a maximum of 12 credit hours per regular semester. Also, it is recommended that University College students who are admitted with probationary or conditional status enroll in no more than 3 credit hours per summer session.

Frequently Asked Questions about Academic Advising Q: What courses do students take their first semester? A: Beginning students must register for a firstyear seminar, which builds the foundation for college success. Students will be registered for writing and mathematics courses according to their placement exams, and other courses will be selected according to students’ interests or intended majors. If students have not yet chosen a major, courses will be selected to help them explore majors.

Q: When do students begin study in the school that offers their intended degrees? A: University College is the academic home for entering students. Faculty, staff, and students of all the degree-granting schools work with University College whose goal is to advise and certify students into their chosen majors. Some students move into degree-granting schools after the first semester of study, while other students require additional time in University College to decide upon and to meet certification requirements for a degree-granting school.

Q: How do students know how they are doing in their courses? A: University College has an early warning system where faculty are asked to let academic advisors know if students are having difficulty in some courses. We will then contact the students identified to us by the faculty. Students are encouraged to work with their instructors to improve academic performance.

Q: What is a planning guide? A: A planning guide is a list of suggested courses to discuss when students meet with an academic advisor to plan for a spring semester. New students must meet with an advisor in the fall to obtain clearance for spring semester registration. These appointments take place during a learning community class, and we encourage students to make every effort to attend this appointment. A long wait can occur when students miss their appointment and need to meet with an advisor on a walk-in basis.

Q: Where can a student find a list of courses needed for his or her major? A: Refer to uc.iupui.edu/ (click on Students, Academic Planning, and Checksheets).

Bepko Learning Center

The Bepko Learning Center’s programs are based on the philosophy that academically successful students can play an important role in the academic development of their peers. Collaborative learning, role modeling, peer interaction, and peer support are all components of this philosophy. The Bepko Learning Center provides help for students through the following programs: 1. Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) SLA is a mandatory 75-minute session per week attached to high-risk-for-failure gateway courses. Students are given content-specific background information to help them make connections to class lessons and lectures. SLA is a mechanism for teaching students how to form study groups and how to work collaboratively. 2. Supplemental Instruction (SI) SI mentors are learning assistants who have received high grades, and are content competent, in specific courses. SI mentors help other students gain a better understanding of course content and develop skills to improve academic performance. 3. Resource Desk Resource mentors are student advocates who work one-on-one with students to help them succeed academically and socially. Resource mentors are trained as active, helpful, and nonjudgmental listeners. They help students with tutor referrals, study skills handouts, and information about other campus resources such as the University Writing Center, Speaker’s Lab, Office of Student Involvement programs, Office of International Affairs, and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Resource mentors conduct thorough and ongoing follow-up after initial contacts. Mentors strongly encourage students to interact with, and get to know, instructors and departmental staff. 4. Office of Tutorial Support The Office of Tutorial Support offers referrals to students who need help in particular classes. Information about this program is available at the Resource Desk in Taylor Hall (UC 2006). Students are responsible for contacting the tutor and negotiating a fee. Many departments offer free academic resources as well. The Bepko Learning Center also helps with free tutoring assistance to students associated with the Veterans Affairs and Vocational Rehabilitation Services offices.

Services include (but are not limited to): • Assist students with all questions about financial aid services • Discuss financial aid awards (grants and loans) with current and prospective students • Assist students in completing the FAFSA application online • Accept forms necessary for aid eligibility Understanding Students’ Financial Aid Packages Students should already have received a financial aid notification (FAN) listing awards for the 2012 academic year. This aid package can be a combination of grants, loans, workstudy, fee remissions, veterans’ benefits, or scholarships. The types of federal and state awards, including dollar amounts, are determined by students’ financial need.

Financial need is the difference between the IUPUI cost of attendance (COA) and the expected family contribution (EFC), which is derived from a review of the family’s income and assets reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). IUPUI provides the estimated costs for tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses. We know that some family circumstances cannot always be reflected on the FAFSA and that situations can change. If your student’s financial aid package is not sufficient to cover the costs, we recommend that you discuss your special circumstances with one of the financial services counselors.

FINANCIAL LITERACY

Financial Aid: Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is financial aid? A: Financial aid refers to all financial benefits a student receives to pay for educational expenses. This includes: grants, scholarships, fee remissions (or sponsorships), veterans’ benefits, and loans from any organization, business, or government entity.

Q: How does a student apply for financial aid? A: Students should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 10 each year at www.fafsa. gov. When students file the FAFSA, they are applying for federal and state grants, work-study, and loan programs. Fee remissions and scholarships are primarily student initiated, which means students work directly with the organizations granting these awards.

Q: Is there a separate IUPUI aid application? A: While there is no separate IUPUI financial aid application for most federal aid during the traditional academic year (fall and spring semesters), students who wish to apply for a Federal Parent PLUS Loan must complete a separate application available on the Office of Student Financial Services’ website. Also, students who want to pursue scholarships at IUPUI must complete an application with the Office of Scholarships.

Q: Students who are supposed to be receiving financial aid still receive a bill. Why? A: Federal and state aid will officially credit to students’ bursar accounts no earlier than ten days prior to the beginning of classes each semester. Students will continue to receive a bill showing the financial aid credits and any remaining balance due; crediting financial aid to students’ bursar accounts in a timely manner is also contingent upon students’ meeting all eligibility criteria: • Students must resolve all “to do” items on the OneStart “to do” list. • Students must be enrolled in the minimum number of credit hours per term for the type of aid they are receiving. State grants require full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours); loans require half-time enrollment (6 or more credit hours for undergraduates). Note: Waitlisted courses will NOT count toward minimum credit hour requirements for financial aid eligibility.

Q: What is a financial aid refund? A: If the amount of financial aid applied to students’ bursar accounts exceeds the amount due, a credit balance will show on the record. If this credit qualifies for refunding, students will see a refund entry on their bursar account. Financial aid will first apply to charges owed the university, including tuition, fees, and housing (if applicable). If the total amount of financial aid received exceeds the outstanding account balance, students will receive a refund. Students should generally expect the financial aid refund by the first week of classes if a refundable credit exists on their bursar accounts. Refunds are processed on a regular basis throughout the year once classes begin.

Q: How does a student receive any possible refund? A: Student refunds can be transferred to their banks via direct deposit (recommended and quickest method) or sent via US mail to the local address listed via the OneStart account. Refunds from Federal Parent PLUS Loans will be mailed in a check to the parent borrower at the address on file with the university.

Q: How are financial aid awards received? A: The majority of the grant and loan awards are made for the full academic year, and half of the amount will be disbursed at the beginning of each semester in August and January. The funds will be credited to students’ bursar accounts to pay tuition and fees. If the grants and loans exceed what is owed to IUPUI, the difference will be given to the student for books and living expenses. This refund will either be directly deposited or mailed to students.

Q: Is it too late to apply for financial aid? A: The priority date for submitting the FAFSA in Indiana is March 10 every year. Meeting this priority date provides greater opportunities for consideration by the Indiana Higher Education Grant programs and some university grants. However, students and parents can submit the FAFSA and student loan applications throughout the year to be considered for Pell Grant and student or parent loans.

Q: I do not want my child to take out loans. Is there any financial aid for parents to help cover the cost of college? A: Yes. The Federal Parent PLUS Loan is a low interest rate loan for parents to help pay for the college education of a dependent undergraduate child. The maximum amount that can be borrowed is the student’s cost of attendance minus other aid received by the student. This is a credit-based loan; therefore, you must pass a credit check that will be performed by the lender. There may be loan processing fees taken out by the lender before the funds are sent to the school. For an application and more details, please visit: www.iupui.edu/~finaid/services/loans/plus.

EXPLORING THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY

First-Year Seminars and Learning Communities

IUPUI Summer Bridge Program

Q: What is a first-year seminar?

The IUPUI Summer Bridge Program is held for incoming first-year students during August before fall classes begin. Students are divided into groups of 25 based on their interest in pursuing a particular major or in exploring various major options. Bridge participants establish networks for success with faculty, advisors, student mentors, and librarians; make friends with other entering students; learn to handle collegelevel expectations for reading and writing; receive individualized support for math; begin connecting with a school and major; become acquainted with the campus; and gain experience in using instructional technology. Some scholarships are available for eligible participants. Please see bridge.uc.iupui.edu for more information on the Summer Bridge Program and scholarships.

A: First-year seminars are special courses required of entering students, offered by University College and all undergraduate schools. The course facilitates student transition to college by introducing key information and skills needed to succeed and by offering opportunities to connect with faculty, staff, and other students. First-year seminars are taught by an instructional team, including: • Faculty member who sets academic goals and is the team leader. • Student mentor who serves as a role model and peer guide to the college experience. • Librarian who introduces library resources and literacy information. • Academic advisor who provides information on academic policies and procedures and works with students to begin academic planning as well as major and career decision making.

Q: What is a learning community? A: First-year seminars are typically linked with other entry-level courses (such as writing, speech, or math) to form learning communities, where faculty may collaborate in creating class assignments. Students learn to study together, collaborate on projects, and depend on each other for support in the classroom.

Themed Learning Communities Q: What is a themed learning community? A: Themed learning communities (TLCs) involve two or more discipline-based courses paired with an integrative first-year seminar in which incoming students enroll. TLCs engage students, faculty, librarians, advisors, and others in a community of learners that explore interdisciplinary connections both in and out of the classroom. Students are encouraged to explore relationships among different academic disciplines and develop a comprehensive perspective on higher education. Through the use of thematically linked curricula, service learning, and co-curricular experiences, TLCs provide enriching learning experiences that foster interdisciplinary understanding. TLC faculty have developed creative strategies to integrate their assignments across disciplines and with co-curricular events. More information about TLCs is available online at tlc.iupui.edu/instruct.html.

IUPUI Honors College This newest IUPUI college offers a dynamic academic experience to high-ability students seeking a unique experience in an urban research environment. The Honors College offers small classes, provides opportunities to exchange ideas with other outstanding students, and links students to world-class faculty engaged in cutting-edge research.

Frequently Asked Questions about Registration Q: Who can review students’ grades? A: Federal law stipulates that only students can have access to their grades (see www.onestart.iu.edu). While university officials are prohibited from releasing students’ confidential information, students can grant third-party access to grades, unofficial transcripts, class schedules, financial aid, and bursar information. With a username and password, students can grant permission to a third party online via OneStart. This authorization does not allow the third party to receive information by any other method (e.g., phone or e-mail). Grades are never released over the telephone. In addition to the online authorization, certain schools and divisions have a waiver form available if students want to authorize release other than that which is available via OneStart. In order for the waiver to be in place, students must be under 21 and the IRS dependents of parents (claimed on the most recent tax return).

Q: How do students calculate the GPA? A: A grade point average (GPA) is a numerical calculation of the students’ grades: the total number of credit points divided by the total number of credit hours. IUPUI uses the following four-point system: A = 4.0 C = 2.0 A- = 3.7 C- = 1.7 B+ = 3.3 D+ = 1.3 B = 3.0 D = 1.0 B- = 2.7 D- = 0.7 C+ = 2.3 F = 0.0 To obtain the total number of credit points: • Multiply credit hours for each course (e.g., 3.0 credit hours) by the numerical value of the grade received in the course (e.g., 2.7 for a B–). In this example (3 x 2.7), a student would have earned 8.1 credit points for this course. • Add credit points for all courses to determine total number of credit points. • Divide total credit points by total credit hours to calculate GPA. For example, 40.1 points divided by 13 hours = 3.084 GPA. Note: The following can be reported on students’ grade reports, but are not calculated in the GPA: FX (Failed course retaken) S (Satisfactory) P (Passed) R (Deferred grade) W (Withdrawal) I (Incomplete) NR (Grade reported too late to be recorded; will be posted at a later time) Q: Do classes start about the same time each semester? A: Yes. For specific dates, students can consult the academic calendar found on the registrar’s website (registrar.iupui. edu).

Q: What is priority registration? A: All students enrolled during one academic term are automatically given a registration appointment for the following term. For example, students enrolled in the fall

term will be given a registration appointment for the spring term. Students are notified via e-mail of the appointment day and time and can register then or any time thereafter.

Q: What is open registration? A: Open registration does not require an appointment. While students are encouraged to register as close to their original appointment time as possible during priority registration, students may register any time after the appointment time until registration ends immediately preceding the first day of classes. Students may register during the first week of the term, but will be assessed a late fee.

Q: How do students register for classes? A: New students will register during the New Student Orientation program. Continuing students can register on campus in any computer lab or online at onestart.iu.edu.

Q: Do students have to see an academic advisor every time they register? A: Students are encouraged to keep in contact with their academic advisors. Part of students’ success depends on how closely they work with their advisors.

Q: How do students receive information about schedules, course descriptions, or requirements for specific majors? A: New students receive information during New Student Orientation. Continuing students or intercampus transfer students can find course schedules on the registrar’s website (registrar.iupui.edu), which gives daily updates on current enrollments. Students can also check for open sections in real time online via OneStart. Course descriptions are available at bulletin.iupui.edu. For information on requirements for specific majors, curriculum checksheets are available at uc.iupui.edu (click on Students, Academic Planning, and Checksheets).

Q: Where can a student get a transcript? A: Official transcripts are issued by the Office of the Registrar for a fee of $8. To receive a transcript, all financial obligations to the university must be clear. Requests may be submitted in person, by mail, by fax, or by using the online ordering service. New: Electronic transcripts (PDF) can be delivered the same day for an additional $5. For detailed information on transcripts, please refer to registrar. iupui.edu/transcript.

Q: How do students change personal information with the university? A: Students can update an address or phone number using the Self-Service menu in OneStart. For changes not available through Self-Service, contact the Office of the Registrar in the Campus Center, Suite 250.

Q: Is transfer student registration different from new student registration? A: Advising and registration for transfer students occurs during orientation. Once students are enrolled at IUPUI for a semester, they will be given an appointment time to register for the following semester via OneStart.

Registration Activity and Fee Schedule Refunds for dropped classes are determined by the date the drop activity is initiated by students when using eDrop or when processed by the Office of the Registrar via a drop/add form. Refunds are based on the following schedule for courses scheduled for 9 – 16 weeks: 1st week of classes drop – 100% of course fees 2nd week of classes drop – 75% of course fees 3rd week of classes drop – 50% of course fees 4th week of classes drop – 25% of course fees 5th week of classes and after – no refund For courses scheduled for fewer than nine weeks, see the bursar’s refund section of the Registration Guide at registrar.iupui.edu/ registration-guide. Check the academic calendar for exact refund dates per term. If students decide not to attend a class, they MUST officially drop/withdraw from the class or the university. If this action is not taken, students will receive an F in the class, will still be responsible for paying all course fees, and will be unable to register for courses in future semesters. The university DOES NOT automatically withdraw students from classes if they fail to pay their fees. Every student must OFFICALLY withdraw from a class before a refund may be considered.

Commonly Asked Questions about Dropping and Adding Classes Q: What should students know before dropping classes? A: Students should never stop attending a class without talking to their instructors and academic advisors. If a decision is then made to drop a class, proper university procedures must be followed (see registrar. iupui.edu/withdraw.html). Refunds are determined by the date the course is dropped; no refunds are issued after the fourth week of the regular semester or the first two weeks of summer sessions. To protect a grade point average, students MUST officially drop a class; otherwise, students will receive an F for the course. If students receive loans or other financial aid, it is very important to discuss dropping classes with a financial aid advisor; any changes in students’ class load may affect a financial aid package.

the advisor’s signatures. The instructor must circle either W or F. Requests for withdrawal after the 12th week (or after the fourth week in a summer session) require the signature of the instructor, the advisor, and the student’s dean. These late requests, which are rarely granted, are considered only in extraordinary situations that are beyond the student’s control. During this period, poor performance is not considered an acceptable reason for withdrawal.

Q: When do students have to get an instructor’s approval before an academic advisor can approve adding a class?

Note: University College first-year students (25 credit hours or below) may not drop more than one course per semester. This policy will be enforced through advisor sign-off on drop requests. This policy does not include course adjustments made during the first week of classes nor does it apply to classes in which a student has been administratively withdrawn. Q: How do students drop a class?

Commonly Asked Questions about Grades, Academic Probation, and Dismissal Q: What does it mean to be on probation? A: To be on probation means that a student’s GPA has fallen below 2.0 (a C average), and the student is no longer in good academic standing.

Q: If a student’s GPA falls below 2.0, what does the student need to do? A: Students must see an academic advisor to sign a contract that will outline the requirements for staying in school. Students will not be allowed to register for an upcoming term until they have discussed their probationary status with an advisor.

Q: When are students academically dismissed? A: Students who earn below a 1.0 cumulative GPA in their first semester are subject to dismissal. Academic dismissal also occurs when students have completed a minimum of 12 credits with a semester GPA below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters and a cumulative GPA below 2.0.

Q: If students are dismissed, how can they be reinstated? A: Students who are dismissed the first time cannot register for classes for a minimum of one regular semester (fall or spring); students dismissed two or more times cannot register for classes for two regular semesters.

Q: How do students replace an unsatisfactory grade for a class? A: To exercise the grade replacement option, students must register for that class again. Once the students have completed the class and achieved the same or higher grade, only that grade will be counted in the cumulative GPA. It is students’ responsibility to notify University College that the course has been repeated. Certain restrictions apply to the grade replacement option; please check the registrar’s website for grade replacement policy details.

Q: What are the limits to the number of grade replacements? A: Students may exercise the grade replacement option for a maximum of 15 credit hours. This option may be used for the same course no more than twice. Certain majors have different requirements, and students should check with the schools of their intended majors. NOTE: Some schools do not honor the grade replacement policy.

Q: What does it mean for students to have a hold on their record? A: A hold is generally issued for academic probation or for academic dismissal and means that students cannot register until the hold is removed. There are other types of holds, however, and this information is available at OneStart (click on Services and Student Self Service). In the area Student Information Snapshot, click on Holds on My Record for information on how to release the hold.

Health Insurance IUPUI Health Services operates on a fee-for-service basis and strives to keep students’ out-of-pocket expenses low. The student health center will waive the deductible and file insurance claims for medical students, student academic appointees (SAAs), and international students who have Chickering Insurance. The student health center is unable to file for any other health insurance, and students will be expected to pay at the time of their visit. They will be given a receipt to file directly with their insurance company. Students with Aetna-Chickering insurance are expected to pay for their visit at the time of service and will be given a receipt to send to Chickering. Chickering will deduct the co-pay and will send a check to the student directly for reimbursement. For more information on Chickering student health insurance, please contact: Chickering Claims Administrators, Inc. P.O. Box 15708 Boston, MA 02215-0014 877-437-6512

You can also check the website at www.chickering. com. Click on Find Your School and enter 812849 as the policy number.
