Students who receive a grade lower than an A may be eligible to retake a course and remove the earlier grade from their grade point average (GPA). Please see the enrollment bulletin for more detail, including restrictions on this policy.
IU Exploratory, Pre-Business, Pre-Nursing, and Pre-Social Work students may submit an Extended-X Petition through the Undergraduate Education Records Office in Wells Library room 002 (Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
If you are not able to file your petition in person, you may use the online version of the form (CAS authentication required). There are instructions on how to fill out and submit the form on the application, so please read them carefully. However, if you have any questions about the form or the Extended-X policy in general, you can contact Undergraduate Education Records at 812-855-7797 or vpuerec@iu.edu.
Students in other schools and programs should consult with their academic advisor on their school's procedure.
You must be currently enrolled in the course before you can submit a petition to apply the Extended-X Policy to it.
An X petition can be submitted any time before you graduate. However, we recommend that you submit your X petition before the end of the semester you are re-taking the course. If you've already completed the course for the second time and neglected to file an X petition, you may file your petition now.
