A restructuring of the undergraduate programs at IUPUI in the fall semester of 1972 created three new schools: the School of Liberal Arts (humanities and social sciences), the School of Science (physical, behavioral, and life sciences), and the School of Liberal Arts ( humanities and social sciences), the School of Science (physical, behavioral and life sciences) and the School of Engineering and Technology. Work in the School of Liberal Arts is concentrated on the University Quarter Campus on West Michigan Street.

IUPUI
If you declare a major at the time of your application for admission, you will be assigned an appropriate departmental advisor. It is recommended that your advance planning at the time of admission is directed towards a choice of major.
Advanced Academic Standing
If you have not selected a major area of study, you will be assigned to a university department. Pre-medical and pre-dental students must indicate a chemistry or biology major at the time of enrollment.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Requirements For Purdue University Degrees
Resident study at IUPUI for at least two semesters and the completion during this period of at least 32 semester hours of work at the 300-400 (junior-senior) level. Students are normally expected to complete the senior year in residence; however, with the approval of the dean of the school concerned, students who have had at least four semesters of residential study may complete up to 20 semester hours of the senior year in another approved college or university.
Requirements For Indiana University Degrees
Area Requirements
Courses that do not carry Science credit (such as Mathematics M015 and M017) may not be used in the distribution. It is recommended that a student intending to pursue graduate studies should plan to take the Graduate Record Examination at the beginning of the senior year.
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE Area I
Area II
Area III
A minimum of four science courses totaling at least 12 credits outside the major department are required. See the major department list for courses required by the major, as well as courses required by the major department in other fields.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE
There must be at least one two-course sequence (not necessarily consecutively numbered) in either lilA or III B. See the major department overview for courses required within the major as well as other courses required by the major department in other fields.
Purdue University Graduate Degrees
The committee must certify to the Graduate School either that the student has passed the required examinations of the department in which the major postgraduate study was taken or that the committee is satisfied with the performance of the student as based on a committee conference. A maximum of nine hours of courses completed as a temporary student may be used to complete the requirements of a degree upon acceptance as a degree-seeking student and with departmental approval.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
In any case, a final examination committee is appointed for each candidate for the master's degree. Applying as a temporary graduate student, however, is required and can be done through the IUPUI Office of Graduate Programs in the Union Building.
Grades
Incomplete: A grade of I (Incomplete) indicates that the work is satisfactory at the end of the semester, but not completed. Removal of incomplete grade: Removal of incomplete grade is the responsibility of the student.
Courses Repeated
Students may withdraw from classes during the last quarter of a semester or session if they secure the approval of their supervisor, the course instructor, and the dean; the grade of "W" will be assigned by the instructor of the course concerned. An incomplete grade that has not been removed by the end of one year will be converted by the Registrar's Office to a grade of F.
Course Audits
A grade of Incomplete can only be given if the completed portion of a student's work in the course is of satisfactory quality. An Incomplete grade must be removed within one year from the time it is assigned.
Petition for Grade Change
This request can only be honored after approval from the Department Chair and the Dean for Academic Affairs of the School of Natural Sciences. In certain cases, however, the Dean of the School of Natural Sciences may admit a student who has obtained a baccalaureate.
