Academic Policies
Graduation Requirements
Students must complete 36-54 credit hours, based on their individualized degree plan, from the following areas prior to graduation:
Academic Probation / Dismissal From Program A student subject to dismissal will be given the opportunity to communicate in writing with the Graduate School of Management Admission Committee. The Committee will then review the student's status. Transfer of Graduate Credit Course credit eligible for transfer consideration must meet the following criteria:
Time commitment Graduate level study requires a significant commitment of
time. Because of the
concentrated, 8-week course schedule, it is crucial that students attend
all class meetings. Students
should expect two to three hours of home work for every class hour. Thus, a four-hour class may result
in a substantial number of study hours outside the classroom. Assignments must be submitted on time, or a course grade could be
jeopardized. Although most instructors will try to make arrangements for a
student whose work demands travel, this may not be possible in all cases.
Students are responsible for informing instructors in advance of known
absences and as soon as possible in the case of
emergencies. Course Load The
Graduate School of Management strongly recommends that students who are
employed full time enroll in no more than one course each eight-week
session, for a total of six credit hours per semester.
A
course load of three classes (9 credit hours) each semester is considered
full-time, and is only advised for students who are not employed or are
only minimally employed. Outcomes
Assessment The
program reserves the right to require students to participate in
institutional testing programs as part of ongoing assessment of student
outcomes. Withdrawing from a Course
When students officially withdraw by the deadline set for each term , they will receive a grade of "W", which has no effect on the GPA. A student who has not officially withdrawn from a course will receive a final grade of "F". Incomplete Grade Class Attendance NOTE: A student registered for a Saturday course may not register for a weekend MBA seminar. Timeframe for Completion of Degree Requirements Interruption of Studies
Proficiency ExaminationsStudents who believe they have a strong background in the subject matter of a foundation course, but who do not meet the academic waiver guidelines as described above may petition the GSM for a proficiency examination. (Note: the Admission Committee reserves the right to honor or not honor the petition based on the student's academic, business, and professional background.) One attempt is allowed per course. A student who earns a "B-" or higher on a proficiency examination is allowed to waive the course. |
