22 Class Schedule Adjustment and Final Grades

Drop/Add Through First Week of Classes

During the first week of classes (check One.IU for exact dates), you can change your schedule with no financial or grade penalties. Exchange students should consult Education Abroad before making schedule changes. More information is available at https://studentcentral.indiana.edu/register/dropping-adding/index.html.

Late Drop/Add

After the first week of classes (check One.IU for exact dates) late drop/add begins. Indiana University has developed an electronic drop (eDrop) and add (eAdd) process to allow students to request class drops/adds online through One.IU. Once approved, the request(s) will be processed and notification sent to you via your university e-mail account.

Late fees: A late program change fee of $23 will be assessed for each course dropped after the first week of classes. The late program change fee also applies to a section change, a change of arranged hours, or a credit/audit change.

Waiver of the late program change fee will be considered only when it can be clearly demonstrated that the University, through one of its offices or officials, is directly responsible for the late schedule adjustment activity.

Schedule changes after the first week of classes will result in a W on your transcript.

Final Grades

The Registrar does not send your final grade report to your campus address since grade reports are only mailed automatically to permanent U.S. addresses. Education Abroad will send your official transcript of your work to your university at the end of your stay here if you sign the special transcript request form during your Education Abroad orientation. You will also be able to view your transcript from One.IU.

Letter grades are reported for each course and a cumulative average is included. The cumulative average follows a 4.00 scale. Americans frequently discuss their “GPA” (grade point average) or their “cume” (cumulative GPA). You should expect to achieve 3.0 and above.
