| ASURE classes | For 2025, the College has largely disambiguated ASURE classes from CAPP (with one exception noted to the left). Many ASURE classes do not require a drop permission. However, students who drop the ASURE class may be required to drop the ASURE program entirely. When necessary to drop, drop permission only for students who no longer want to participate in the ASURE program. (Dropping the class = declining ASURE.)
To confirm ASURE associated classes, check the ASURE website. Send an email notifying asure@iu.edu of the student’s drop. Or, the student will receive outreach from ASURE if they drop a required class.
Any drop permission not used in a timely manner will result in administrative disenrollment from the class. |
EALC | Languages Classes (C/J/K) | Normally a student should start with the level of the language they place into, but if there is good cause for petitioning for a different level, then the student should email their case to ealc@iu.edu All students with prior experience must take a placement test in the target language, even if they have previously taken the language at another higher education institution or study abroad program. |

Please refer to the following link where you can find a list of English-speaking countries: https://ois.iu.edu/admissions/apply/freshman/index.html Domestic and international students whose core language background in not in English and who identify as multilingual but fall outside of the placement parameters above may also be considered for W 131-ML on a case-by-case basis.
