School Reinstatement

Reinstatement information by school

Petitioning for reinstatement if you were dismissed from your school

The following information is for students who have been academically dismissed from their IU Bloomington degree/school and plan to petition for reinstatement for that school or would like to apply for reinstatement to a different degree and school.

The following academic schools will consider reinstatement petitions from students who were dismissed from other academic units on campus:

  • College of Arts and Sciences
  • School of Public Health
  • Luddy School of Informatics and Computing

If you wish to consider other degree/major options from outside your current school, schedule an appointment with an Advising & Major Exploration Services advisor by searching "AMES" in the Student Appointment Scheduler or email ames@iu.edu. Our advisors can help you learn about the different reinstatement processes across campus and what majors might be a good fit for you.
