Admissions to the School of Business
Students may apply for admittance to the School of
Business as part of their application for admission to
the University and choose any of the business majors at
the lower division level.
Upper
Division Status: Upper division is defined as the
junior and senior level coursework in the student's
major. Students must apply for upper division status
when they have completed or are currently enrolled in
the courses that complete the lower division business
requirements. This step is necessary for enrolling in
the 300 and 400 level upper division business courses.
Upper division status will be granted to students whose
academic progress indicates likely success in completing
their chosen major in business. Additionally,
students accepted into the School of Business upper
division must maintain a minimum 2.50 grade point
average. Students whose grade point average falls
below the 2.50 cumulative grade point average will be
subject to dismissal from the School of Business.
Each
department may set separate requirements for admission
to a major. The departments are seeking evidence that a
student has the verbal and mathematical abilities to
successfully complete the desired program.
Further information and applications for admission for
both upper and lower division status may be obtained in
the Assistant Dean's office in 216 Robert C. Vance
Academic Center, along with names and locations of
faculty advisers in the student's major. Students are
encouraged to talk with faculty members in their major
departments regarding course selection and career
opportunities.
Student Advising Program
Student advising and intervention are an integral and
vital component of the School of Business students'
experience. The Student Advising Program for business
majors consists of the following components:
Initial Advising. Upon entry to CCSU, new and
transfer students are encouraged to schedule an
individual appointment in the Dean's Office to acquaint
them with the academic standards and procedures. This
orientation includes an overview of the School of
Business, its majors and the requirements of the
curriculum, and an explanation of vital offices and
University departments at CCSU.
Intervention. Each semester during their lower
division status, students meet with a School of Business
counselor in the Dean's Office to review their course
selection, to discuss grade point average requirements
and to complete the admission process into the School of
Business. This careful monitoring of students' academic
progress, after the completion of each semester, ensures
that the students are progressing satisfactorily. If an
academic problem occurs, the adviser will intervene with
future course selection and facilitate an academic
support program for the student.
Finally, once a student has completed 90 college
credits, the student must have advance permission from
the office of the Dean of the School of Business to take
any additional credits at other colleges or universities
and count such courses towards a major in business.
Student Advising
The
School of Business has an office for student advising
located in Robert Vance Academic Center, Room 216, which
provides advising and orientation services regarding
university requirements and business curriculum.
A
student may apply for admittance to the School of
Business as a part of the application for admission to
the University, and a student may choose any business
major or "business undeclared" at the lower division
level. For students with good academic records, the
School of Business follows a one-step policy to attain
School of Business upper division status. When a student
has or is currently enrolled in courses that complete
the lower division requirements, the student should
apply for upper division status by completing a form
available in the Dean's office.
