Requirements and Policies

Policies and Procedures

MBA students must maintain a 3.00 GPA in all required graduate course work attempted in the program. Prerequisite MBA courses do not count as part of the required courses. Students must complete all requirements for the degree within five years of the date of admission to the degree program.

Students are expected to enroll in at least one course every academic year. Failure to comply will result in dismissal from the program. To continue on, re-admission will be required.

Admission Requirements for Re-Admission:

• Complete the online application
• Submit official transcripts from all institutions attended.

Matriculated students must have signed Plans of Study on file in order to register for courses. Plans must be developed in consultation with the MBA advisor during the advising period.

A maximum of 6 transfer graduate credit hours, completed within the last 5 years with a grade of at least a B, may be counted toward the degree requirements. Determination of transfer credit will be made at the time of matriculation. Application for transfer credit subsequent to matriculation must be approved before students register for courses at other institutions.

Students must complete and submit an Application for MBA Degree Completion/Graduation Application to Student Administrative Services (SAS). This application should be filed after students complete 27 hours of required course work (before registering for the last 9 hours).

Program Changes in 8-Week Courses

The deadline to drop an 8-week course without academic or financial penalty with the exception of non-refundable fees is for the first 7 calendar days (beginning with and including the first day of classes)

Students who withdraw from 8-week courses after the first 7 calendar days (beginning with and including the first day of classes) will receive a grade of “W” and will be financially responsible for the class.

The latest time to withdraw from 8–week course is by the end of the seventh week of class.
