Petitioning for Reinstatement for Exploratory or Major Changing Students
Petitioning for reinstatement after academic dismissal is a process that takes time and reflection. If you are uncertain what you want to major in or are considering changing majors you may submit an Exploratory Reinstatement Petition.
Students who have not already been admitted into Education, Kelley School of Business, Nursing, or O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs cannot be reinstated into those schools, but instead may petition as an exploratory student. However, if you have been dismissed from a school and wish to return to that school you should use that school’s process.
The following academic schools will consider reinstatement petitions from students who were dismissed from other academic units on campus:
- College of Arts and Sciences: find information in the students portal under reinstatement.
- School of Public Health: email sphadvr@iu.edu
- Luddy School of Informatics and Computing: email siceugrd@iu.edu
Exploratory Reinstatement Petition deadline for the spring term: November 1
If the deadline has past and you want to make a case to be considered to return, please email vpuerec@iu.edu.
