Grade replacement (Extended-X) petition

Students who earn a grade lower than an A in a course taken at Indiana University may be eligible, upon retaking the course, to remove (have "X'ed") the earlier grade from their grade point average (GPA). Since the Grade Replacement (formerly "Extended-X") policy can be confusing, we employ the following terms on this form to provide clarity about it:

  • ENROLLMENT X: the enrollment of the course the student seeks to have removed from the GPA (the X'd enrollment)
  • ENROLLMENT Y: the student's subsequent enrollment in the course (must be taken after ENROLLMENT X)

Policy Restrictions

  • Courses that are X'd will not carry credit toward degree under any circumstance and cannot be used to fulfill requirements or prerequisites
  • Students may only apply Grade Replacement for a maximum of 3 enrollments or 10 credit hours, whichever comes first
  • Both enrollments (ENROLLMENT X and ENROLLMENTY) in the course must have been taken in the Fall 2001 semester or later and must be the same course and same topic
  • Though a student may submit this petition while taking the subsequent enrollment (ENROLLMENT Y) of the course, the policy cannot be applied until after the enrollment is completed
  • To affect academic standing for the current term, the Grade Replacement form must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. the Friday of final exam week; otherwise, it must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. the business day following the IUB Final Grades Entry Deadline (full term) of the academic term for which the student has applied for graduation. Specific dates can be found on the Deadlines, Milestones and Term-based Criteria page.
