I am on probation, what will happen at the end of the semester?
Fall/Spring Semester
If you do not raise your cumulative grade point average to a 2.00 or better, you will be dismissed from the University. Please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for more details about academic probation or contact your Academic Advisor.
Summer Session
The University does not dismiss as a result of summer session grades. However, if your cumulative grade point average is below a 2.00, summer session will count as a semester on academic probation.
What do I do if I think my grade(s) are wrong?
You must contact the instructor of the class that you believe has listed the incorrect grade. If warranted, the instructor will complete a "Change of Grade" form, and submit that to the Records Office. The Records Office will notify the Office of Enrollment Management and Academic Services once the change has been made. The Office of Enrollment Management and Academic Services cannot act upon any grade changes until the changes are actually processed on your academic record. Please be aware that grade changes do take some time. If you have been dismissed from Illinois State, it is highly recommended that you file a petition for reinstatement even though you are expecting a grade change.
I haven't received my grades!
Grades and letters regarding academic probation are sent to the student's home address that is provided by the student and posted on the student's iCampus Portal. Please contact the Student Service and Referral Center to change your address, or go to the iCampus Portal to access your grades and to change your address.
I'm a parent. How can I get my student's grades?
Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, we are unable to provide you with your student's grades unless your student has given the University permission to release that information to you. Please discuss this policy with your student. You can learn more about "Confidentiality of Student Records" in the Undergraduate Catalog. You can contact the University Registrar's office with questions or to receive more information about this policy at 309-438-2188.
