ࡱ> EGD *$bjbjQFQF 463,3,*NN$$t$ N.ppppppSp YJyD0t',|SSgxpptN W: MEMORANDUM TO: Ethlyn Williams, PhD COBUC Chair Department of Management Programs FROM: Rupert Rhodd, PhD Associate Dean and Director of Student Academic Services DATE: April 3, 2015 SUBJECT: Pre-Business to Bachelors of General Studies (RECOMMENDED catalog update) Presently all Pre-Business (PBUS) students who are suspended must leave the college of business and find another college to take them. This proposal would allow suspended PBUS students to stay in the college of business if they changed their major to the new Bachelors of General Studies program (BGS). If they did not agree to the BGS, then they would need to change their college, but this gives them another option. Admissions Policy (for all majors except General Economics and Health Administration) All of the following are required for admission to upper-division selective majors in the College of Business: 1. Attain a minimum 2.5 鶹ƷƵGPA at the time of application to an upper-division major; transfer students who meet all admissions requirements prior to entering 鶹ƷƵmay be admitted to upper-division based on their cumulative transfer GPA provided no 鶹ƷƵGPA has been earned; required entrance GPAs may vary by program. Refer to the specific program's section for details; 2. Complete Pre-Business foundation coursework with minimum grades of "C"; 3. Fulfill the 鶹ƷƵForeign Language Entry requirement; 4. Earn a minimum of 60 credits. Students must be admitted to a major (not Pre-Business), including the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) program, before earning 72 credits. Upon earning 72 credits, a registration hold will be placed on a student's record until the student selects a major. A student must be admitted to upper-division status in order to receive a baccalaureate degree from the College of Business, except for majors not eligible for the B.B.A. degree (General Economics, General Studies, and Health Administration). Students may appeal denial of admission to a major through the academic petition process. For an appeal to have merit, students must explain new academic or personal information as well as extenuating circumstances. The evidence should show a student's case is stronger than the GPA evidence suggests. Implementation and Annual Review The admissions standards above are effective for students entering 鶹ƷƵ(freshmen or transfers) in fall of 2007 and after. Any degree-seeking student continually enrolled at 鶹ƷƵprior to fall 2007 is exempt from the admissions standards. The admissions standards (GPA, Pre-Business foundation coursework, etc.) in effect at the time of application to a major pertain to any student (admitted to 鶹ƷƵfall 2007 or after) regardless of the time of initial enrollment or admission to the University. The College of Business, in consultation with the University's Provost, will annually review the admission requirements and determine any revisions to the GPA or other admissions criteria. Restricted Access to Upper-Division COB Courses Access to upper-division COB courses is restricted. Registration priority for COB upper-division courses will be in the following order: 1. Upper-division COB students (in selective admissions majors); 2. Students in programs with COB courses as part of the required curriculum; 3. Students in other majors (officially declared and making progress in the program) who desire COB courses to supplement their curriculum; 4. Non-degree seeking students. Department Chairs may elect to drop enrollment restrictions on courses not specifically required or applicable to a COB major program (e.g., FIN 3140, BUL 4622, GEB 3052, etc.), as these course are largely service-oriented toward many 鶹ƷƵmajors and the community. Courses exempt from restrictions include those of the Business Administration minor (FIN 3403, MAN 3025 and MAR 3023) and upper-division Economics courses. Students in categories 3 and 4 above may request permission to enroll in restricted business courses after advance registration via a business academic petition. Suspension and Dismissal Academically suspended undergraduate Pre-Business students who have not been admitted to a major/upper division cannot immediately return to selective programs in the College because their deficit would make it unlikely they can be admitted. These students should work with 鶹ƷƵadvisors for alternative academic programs to consider. Business students on probation will be limited to 13 credits in a regular semester (fall/spring) and 10 in the summer. Academically suspended Pre-Business students who desire to return to the College of Business can only enter the BGS program. After a business student enters the BGS program, he or she cannot change to another major within the college. Academically suspended undergraduate Pre-Business students cannot return to General Economics without obtaining a 2.0 鶹ƷƵGPA or Health Administration without obtaining a 2.25 鶹ƷƵGPA and completing other admission requirements for these programs. If students have been admitted to a major/upper division, suspension and dismissal actions follow the standard University procedure. Students who are suspended or dismissed after admission to upper division will have their reinstatement cases reviewed on an individual basis after remaining out of 鶹ƷƵfor the required period. Note: The policy for academic status of graduate students is outlined under the heading Academic Standing in the M.B.A. program description later in this section. General Studies Degree Program (Effective Spring 2015) The University offers a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree program that allows students to design a plan of study to meet their personal interests and career goals. The 120-credit program includes 15 credits of upper-division coursework in one discipline, which students select in consultation with an advisor. Once a student enters the BGS program in the College of Business, he or she cannot change to another major within the College. After entering the BGS program in the College of Business, students cannot enroll in the same course for a third time, regardless of the chronology of the attempts. For example, a student took ACG 2021 two years before entering the BGS and earned a D. The following year the student repeated ACG 2021 but withdrew. After entry into the BGS, the student would not be allowed to enroll in ACG 2021.
