standard admission. Standard admission to the Kelley
School is selective. Kelley has set admission courses
and requirements you must meet in order to apply and be

degree program.
If you are seeking standard admission to the Kelley School
of Business, please review the current IU student Kelley

Second Bachelor's Degree
There are two types of second degrees, concurrent
and sequential. A concurrent degree is one earned
simultaneously with a first degree. A sequential degree is
one earned subsequent to a first degree (earned at IUB or
elsewhere).
Students interested in pursuing a concurrent second
degree must apply to the Kelley School of Business
through the Standard Admission process. Questions
about pursuing a concurrent degree should be directed to
[email protected]. If you are a current Kelley student
and you want to complete a second, concurrent degree
in another school at IU, then you should meet with an
academic advisor from that school to learn more.

Initiatives of the Kelley School of Business can be found
on our About Us wepage.
Enrollment Policies
Late Enrollment Policy
Kelley School of Business students who have not yet
enrolled in fall or spring semester by the end of the first
week of the semester must submit a petition to obtain
a Late Enrollment Form. There is no guarantee that a
petition for late enrollment will be granted. Students should
talk with their academic advisor about the petition process.
Late Course Adds
For all Kelley (BUS) I-Core prerequisite courses that
meet for a full semester or the first eight weeks, students
must be enrolled in these by the Sunday after of the first
week of classes. No late adds will be accepted for these
courses.
Late adds for other BUS courses will only be approved
due to extenuating circumstances. It is the expectation
that students are enrolled in their BUS courses by the end
of the first week of the start of their course.
I-Core Drops
Students who choose to drop I-Core must drop all
components of I-Core, including BUS-T 375 and/or BUS-I
304 (for Business Honors students).
I-Core Retakers
Students cannot retake a component of I-Core in which
they earned a D- or better. I-Core retake seats are
reserved only for those students who earned a grade of F
in a component of I-Core.
Students who need to retake a comoponent of I-Core can
only retake this component in spring or summer semester,
unless the student plans to graduate in December and
needs the retake to graduate on time.
Business Program Fee
All undergraduate students admitted to the Kelley School
of Business are charged a business program fee for any
term in which they are enrolled in one or more credit
hours. This fee is incurred even when a student is not
enrolled in any business courses.
There is no process or circumstance where this fee is
waived when a student continues to pursue a Bachelors of
Science in Business.
Grading System
Grade Point Average
The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is computed
by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the
total number of GPA hours completed in which grades
of A through F are earned. More information on GPA
calculation can be found on the Office of the Registrar
website.
The IU and Kelley Program GPAs are based only upon
coursework taken at Indiana University campuses or on a
Kelley (or other IU) study abroad program. Credit earned
at non-IU institutions might be applied toward degree
requirements and earned credits, but the grades earned at
other institutions will not be included in the Kelley School
of Business or Indiana University semester or cumulative
grade point averages.
The IU GPA calculation includes the grades for all courses
taken at any IU campus, including courses that have been
repeated. However, it excludes the grades for the initial
attempts at courses for which the grades were replaced
using the EX policy.
The Kelley Program GPA calculation includes the grades
for all courses taken at any IU campus, including courses
that have been repeated – whether or not the grades were
replaced using the EX policy.
Extended X Policy
Indiana University allows students to retake up to three IU
courses (or a total of 10 credit hours) and have the grades
earned in an earlier enrollment of the same courses (and
topics, where applicable) marked with an "X," with some
significant restrictions. The "X'd" grades are no longer
factored into the IU GPA on the student's transcript.
Students wishing to pursue this option should read the full
text of the policy. More informaiton can be found on the
Kelley Student Portal EX-Petition page. Kelley students
wanting to submit an EX-Petition must submit the EX-
Petition Form.
Important Note: The Kelley School of Business does
not acknowledge this policy for Program GPA purposes,
which is the GPA used for some scholarships, graduation,
and academic standing (i.e., good standing, academic
probation, academic dismissal) for current students. All
grades in completed coursework, even if an "X" is on
record, are calculated into the Kelley Program cumulative
GPA.
Pass/Fail Option
Students in the Kelley School may elect to take a
maximum of two courses under the Pass/Fail option per
year. The procedure and deadline for declaring this option
may be found in the Registrar's online Enrollment and
Student Academic Information Bulletin. Deadlines for filing
the pass/fail option vary by semester. It is the student’s
responsibility to check the Registrar enrollment bulletin for
the appropriate deadline. Special regulations affecting the
Pass/Fail option for Kelley School students are as follows:
1. Kelley students must contact the Kelley Recorder
([email protected]) to submit a Pass/Fail request.
2. During their undergraduate career, students may
enroll in a maximum of eight (8) elective courses to
be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The
Pass/Fail option is available for a maximum of two
(2) courses per academic year, including summer
sessions.
1. 1. Pass/Fail may only be used for supplemental
(elective) hours; Pass/Fail cannot be used
for any courses counting toward a student’s
degree requirements (i.e. major, minor,
certificate, general education, etc.) or for any
Business (BUS) courses.
24 July 23, 2021
3. Business students may not take any Business
course pass/fail. This is true even if the course is
not required for the student’s major or degree.
4. A grade of P is not counted in the grade point
average; a grade of F is included. Once the Pass/
Fail option has been requested, grades of P may not
be changed to any other letter grade.
5. After filing a pass/fail, a student may not change
their mind and decide to take the course for a grade.
Withdrawals
The grade of W (withdrawal) is given automatically to the
student who withdraws from courses by the Registrar’s
designated deadline as listed in the Enrollment and
Student Academic Information Bulletin each semester.
The grade of W will be recorded on the date of withdrawal.
Withdrawals after the Registrar’s deadline are
rarely permitted. Exceptions are made only for dire
circumstances (e.g., serious illness). The desire to avoid
a low grade is not an acceptable reason for withdrawal
from a course after the Registrar’s deadline.
In order to withdraw from a course after the automatic
withdrawal period, Kelley School students need to
file a petition after meeting with an academic advisor.
Please note that if a late withdrawal petition is approved,
instructors have the right to assign a grade of F if the
student is not passing the course at the time of the
requested late withdrawal.
Non–Business students enrolled in Business courses must
petition their own schools.
Multiple Withdrawals from All Subjects
Students who withdraw from all courses in any two
semesters, including summer, will be required to meet
with an academic advisor and submit a petition to resume
their studies. Petitions will be reviewed by a committee to
ensure students are ready to successfully continue as a
Kelley School of Business student. A Kelley advisor will
share the details of the petition process with the student
during their meeting.
Grade Appeals
If you believe there has been an error in calculating
the final grade in one of your courses or if you dispute
the grade based on a bias by the instructor, you may
appeal that grade. See the Student Advocates website for
assistance with your appeal.
To appeal a grade:
1. For all courses, speak directly with your instructor to
try to resolve the matter.
2. For courses offered by the Kelley School of Business
(BUS prefix):
1. If you are unable to resolve the matter with the
instructor, file a written appeal by sending your
appeal memo to [email protected]. The
memo should be submitted no later than Oct.
15th for appeals of a final grade in the previous
spring or summer semester and by February
15th for appeals of a final grade in the previous
fall semester. If the student has not met with
the instructor and chair, Kelley directs them to
do so.
2. If the meeting with the department chair and
instructor does not resolve the student's
appeal, then the student can request the
appeal be sent to the Academic Fairness
Committee. After confirmation that there has
been an attempt to resolve at an informal
level, the student’s appeal will be reviewed by
the Academic Fairness Committee for a final
decision.
3. The Kelley School of Business will not approve
grade changes from a letter grade (A-F) to
an I (Incomplete). It is at the discretion of the
instructor to allow any graded materials to be
submitted after grades are posted to support a
grade change for a student.
4. If a student is seeking a grade change of a
letter grade (A-F) to a retroactive withdrawal
(W), then the student should start that process
with the Student Advocates' Office. This type
of grade change is granted only when medical
or personal events have prevented you from
completing a course.
3. For courses outside of the Kelley School of Business
(non-BUS classes), if you cannot resolve your grade
appeal with the instructor, please work with Student
Advocates on next steps.
Auditing Classes
The Kelley School does not allow students to audit
undergraduate Business courses.
Honor Code
The Kelley School of Business Honor Code provides an
opportunity for students to actively shape their future
behaviors and values. This student-written code proclaims
a commitment to ethical principles and unifies students
by a set of values that holds honesty and integrity in the
highest regard.
All Kelley students are also held to the standards of
the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and
Conduct. Indiana University disciplinary procedures
determine responsibility for violations of the Code of
Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct and
determine the appropriate consequences for violations
of policy. If the sanction for a violation of academic or
personal misconduct is expulsion from Indiana University
Bloomington, the student will be unable to return to
the Kelley School of Business under any circumstance
at any time. If the sanction for a violation of academic
or personal misconduct is suspension from Indiana
University Bloomington, the student may appeal to be
reinstated in the Kelley School of Business after they
have served their suspension time. However, there is no
guarantee students will be readmitted to the Kelley School
of Business after a disciplinary suspension. Please email
the Kelley Record at [email protected] for information
on the post-disciplinary suspension appeal process.

any component of the Integrative Core (I-Core) will
be unable to retake the passed component of I-Core
for any reason.
Academic Misconduct
Indiana University and the Kelley School expect students
to follow the fundamental principles of academic
integrity in the pursuit of learning. The Kelley School
of Business Honor Code provides an opportunity for
students to actively shape their future behaviors and
values. Academic integrity requires that students take
credit only for ideas and efforts that are their own.
Violation of these principles is considered an act of
misconduct.
Academic integrity is defined in the online IU Code
of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.
The penalties and procedures that apply when academic
misconduct occurs are stated in the code. The policy on
academic misconduct is also published, each semester, in
the online Enrollment and Student Academic Information
Bulletin.
The Kelley School strictly follows the guidelines stated
in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and
Conduct. In addition, the school may also consider
it appropriate to remove the student from the course
involved and to assign a grade of F.

student organizations at Indiana University, including a
number of business-related organizations that enable
students to develop their interests in various fields. The
faculty of the Kelley School recognizes that student
organizations are a critical component of the Kelley

programs, giving students valuable opportunities beyond
the classroom to develop professional maturity, strengthen
leadership skills, and network with faculty, alumni,

organizations can enhance the learning and development
that happens in the classroom; therefore, the Kelley
School supports its undergraduate organizations and
strongly urges students to participate.

Kelley School of Business
Undergraduate Bulletin
What is a bulletin?
The Kelley School of Business Undergraduate Bulletin
is a resource and roadmap that provides students with
the information they need to make the most of their
undergraduate education and to graduate from the School
in a timely manner. It is the official source of information
regarding degree requirements, policies and procedures,
programs of study, courses, and opportunities within
July 23, 2021 47
and outside of individual programs. Students pursuing
degrees, minors, or certificates in other schools on the
Bloomington campus should consult the IU Bloomington
Bulletins website to find the appropriate bulletin that
covers their degree program. Students will also find useful
information listed on the Undergraduate website and the
Student Portal.
Which bulletin year should you use?
Students follow the requirements included in the bulletin
published in the year they first enrolled (matriculated) as a
degree-seeking student at Indiana University Bloomington.
For instance, a new freshman or transfer student
beginning at IUB in the summer or fall of 2018 will be held
to the requirements laid out in the 2018-2019 Bulletin of
the Kelley School of Business. For questions regarding
which bulletin to use, please consult the Kelley Academic
Advising Office, (812) 855-2614 or [email protected].
The requirements outlined in the bulletin are in effect
at the time of matriculation and will remain constant
throughout your time in the School, assuming you
graduate within seven years.
Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for planning their own programs
of study and for meeting the degree requirements for
graduation. For advice in fulfilling these requirements and
in planning a course of study, students admitted to the
Kelley School of Business are encouraged to regularly
seek out academic counseling from Kelley academic
advisors. Although academic advisors will do their best to
aid students, it is ultimately each student’s responsibility
to plan an appropriate academic course of study and
to fulfill the various degree requirements. Familiarizing
themselves with the contents of this Bulletin is a crucial
first step that students can and should take to ensure they
know what opportunities are available to them and what
requirements are expected of all students in the Kelley
School of Business.

Requirements for a B.S. in Business, all Business major
requirements, and Business minor/certificate requirements
