Indiana State University requires all international freshman and transfer undergraduate students, as well as international graduate students completing programs of study in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, to take the English Placement Test. This test is administered by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics to determine your level of English writing proficiency and to determine whether you need to take an ESL class and, if so, which class you must take. Please note: The test is offered only during the international student orientation. Students must bring some form of picture identification, such as a passport. For additional information, please contact the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at 812-237-2677.

Do S/U grades affect my Satisfactory Academic Progess (SAP) for financial aid?
- A U WILL impact SAP, the same as an F would impact SAP.

What if my major requires me to earn a certain GPA in my major?

If I want to stay with A-through-F letter grades for all of my classes, do I have to do anything?
Will I get credit toward graduation with an S grade?

If I plan to go to graduate school, law school, or medical school, what should I do?
- Other schools may not count S grades when determining admissions to graduate, law, or medical school. If you are completing any courses that are required by post-baccalaureate programs, you should probably not change those courses to S/U.

- Students on academic probation may choose the S/U option in their classes. Check with your academic advisor because the letter grade you may earn in the class may help your GPA. An S will not improve your GPA.

- The Dean’s List policy as stated in the catalog still stands. It states that “Dean’s List includes full-time students whose semester grade point average is 3.5 to 4.0.

If I’m retaking a class to improve a grade earned previously, should I choose the U/S grade option for the class?
- No. Only a new letter grade will replace your previous course grade and only a new letter grade will change your GPA. For graduates, there is no option to repeat a course for GPA improvement.
Is there a certain amount of points that are needed to have earn an S?
- Each instructor determines the grading scale for each course. The grading scale defined in the course syllabus will continue to apply.
FAQs specific to Graduate Students
I am taking some graduate or undergraduate courses needed for admission to my graduate program at ISU. How will S/U grading affect my admission into the program?
- Courses graded S will be considered sufficient for meeting the prerequisite requirement for program admission at ISU.
Can I petition for a S grade to count towards prerequisite course grade requirements?

These requirements are documented in program handbooks or the graduate catalog. Students should consult with the graduate program director or advisor for further guidance.
How will this affect graduate students on academic probation that need to have a certain letter grade in order to maintain good standing?
