Specialization areas are as follows:

• Maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0 in the overall program. No grade below “C+” is acceptable toward a degree.
• No grade below “B-” is acceptable for BUS 612, Strategic Management.
• Please refer to the Graduate Academic Catalog for Academic Warning, Academic Probation and Academic Dismissal criteria.
• Grade points are awarded as follows:

  • A = 4.0

  • A- = 3.7

  • B+ = 3.3

  • B = 3.0

  • B- = 2.7

  • C+ = 2.3

  • C = 2.0

  • C- = 1.7

  • F = 0

• You may add or drop a class through the second week of the semester without a record of the class on your transcript.
• After the 2^nd week you have until the 10^th week of class to withdraw with a notation of W (the number of weeks changes for interterm & summer, consult the academic calendar).
• If you have an emergency situation and are unable to complete a small portion of the  course requirements, your professor may give you an incomplete.  You must complete the coursework within the time allotted by the professor or 1 year, whichever is less.

• May be granted for taking more than one semester off (interterm and summer sessions do not constitute a semester)
  • Students may choose to elect requirements in effect at the time of the leave or to adopt those in effect at time of return. A written request must be submitted to your academic advisor. (Students taking a leave of absence during a semester prior to the end of the withdrawal period must also officially drop all course work via my.chapman or the Office of the University Registrar).
• Minimum requirements for a leave of absence:
  • A student must be in good academic standing.
  • Petition must state clearly and completely the reasons for the leave.
  • Petition must be approved by the program director and dean of the college.
  • Leaves are typically granted for 1 year with a possible renewal of 1 additional year.
  • Failure to return after the specified time is considered withdrawal from the university. Retroactive leaves are not permitted.
  • Leave of absence does not supersede degree requirements: all coursework must be completed within a seven-year period.

Students who miss the first class meeting of a course in which they are registered may be administratively dropped (unless they make arrangements with the instructor prior to the first day of class).

Students who miss the first 2 weeks of class will be administratively dropped from the course.
