Important Department Policy Reminder

• You must earn a grade of C or higher in each
  upper division business and accounting course to
  graduate with a BS in Accountancy.  If you earn
  less than a C, you will be permitted to repeat
  the course only once and only if/when a seat
  becomes available.  There is no guarantee that a
  student will be able to repeat a class in the
  semester desired.  State and local fire codes
  prevent classes from exceeding room capacity. 
  Students must have an assigned seat with desk
  space (i.e., students will not be permitted to
  sit on the floor or in an empty chair in order to
  repeat a course.)
