Given the character and academic strength of students invited into the Academic Honors Program (AHP), concerns about probation or dismissal are unlikely. Nevertheless, the policy outlined here makes certain that in the rare event of any issues arising with respect to personal integrity or academic performance, the fair treatment of a scholar will be ensured, and the high reputation of the Academic Honors Program will be upheld.
AHP Scholars are placed on probation under one or more of these conditions:
Scholars are judged to be making insufficient progress toward fulfilling the requirements of the program and thus are subject to dismissal from the program under one or more of these conditions:
Scholars who engage in academic or personal misconduct are also subject to probation or immediate dismissal from the honors program. This includes any misconduct as defined by the IU Bloomington Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.
Once on probation, scholars must comply with such restrictions as the director of the honors program deems necessary. Scholars will be notified of their status and associated restrictions in a formal letter from the director.
Once dismissed from the program, scholars will not be considered for readmission. Dismissal from the program will also mean loss of the ability to participate in program benefits (travel, scholarships, and the like).
