Multiple Withdrawals From All Subjects Petition

Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate students who complete a Withdrawal from All Subjects for two academic terms (fall, spring, or summer) will not be permitted to register for a future term without written permission of the dean of their college/school or the dean’s delegate. These students will have a Negative Service Indicator (hold) that prevents future registration placed on their record by the Office of the Registrar until such permission is obtained.

For Kelley School of Business students petitioning to register after multiple withdrawals, please contact busadv@iu.edu to request permission to petition to have your hold removed. An academic advisor will reach out with more information about next steps.
