Time Limits #
All IUHS courses have a 26 weeks (6 months) time limit. Courses not completed within 26 weeks of the registration date will automatically be dropped. You may register for a course that has been dropped in the same way as any other course. Indiana University High School courses are designed to cover a full semester of material, so typically, it will take you a minimum of 12 to 18 weeks to finish a course. As a matter of IUHS academic policy, a student must spend a minimum of six weeks in a course to earn credit (even if the course is being retaken). This minimum time requirement is meant to
- discourage you from attempting to rush through courses.
- promote an appropriate work pace.
- allow you time to benefit from instructor feedback.
The time needed to complete a course will depend on the pace you work, as well as on the number of course credits and the difficulty of the course material. Please take this information into account if you have a specific deadline for completing a course.
Credit toward your high school diploma is given for only one course, and it will be noted on the transcript that the course was repeated. The higher of the two grades will be counted toward your cumulative GPA. Always check with your academic advisor before re-registering.
