by the Academic Standing Committee. The Academic Standing Committee will
make a recommendation to the Dean concerning the student's potential to
successfully complete the MBA program. Final disposition will be made
by the Dean.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credits normally will be granted only for courses taken within
5 years prior to registration at the C.W. Post Campus. Transfer credits
are limited to 6 credits, must be at least 3.0 grade point and are not
recorded as part of the GPA. Transfer credit will not be granted where
the grade point is less than 3.0.
Incomplete Grades
Under special circumstances, a faculty member may assign a grade of
Incomplete (I). Incompletes must be removed within 6 weeks from the start
of the following semester in which the Incomplete was issued. An Incomplete
will be issued only by written agreement between the student and faculty
member.
Leave of Absence
A student who chooses not to register for courses in a given semester
must request a leave of absence, in writing, from the Dean. A student
who is absent from the program for one year must reapply for admission

to the School of Business. In addition to the TOEFL examination score,
on arrival at the C.W. Post Campus, all students with English as a second
language will be required to take an assessment test. Depending on the
assessment scores the student either will be: l ) admitted to a full course
of study, 2) allowed a limited course of study plus intensified courses
in English, or 3) be required to take a full semester of intensified English
as offered by the University. International students will be required
to fulfill all other requirements for admission into the Program.
Waivers
General Business Core courses (500 level) may be waived by the Academic
Standing Committee on the basis of 1) equivalent graduate courses taken

of 2 undergraduate courses per graduate business course with grades of
at least 3.0 in each course or 3) successful completion of a waiver examination.

descriptions for each requested waiver. A fee is charged for each waiver
examination. Students may obtain the waiver examination application in
the Academic Advisor's office. The Academic Advisors will provide the
dates.
Matriculated students having courses waived are excused from those courses
and, as a result, their number of credits are reduced.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a practice which is not only unacceptable but that is
to be condemned in the strongest terms possible on the basis of moral,
educational, and legal grounds.
Under the present Campus policy, the offense of plagiarism may be punishable
by a range of penalties up to and including failure in the course and
expulsion from the University.

in residence. To be in residence, the student must have registered for

of the GPA. Transfer credit will be allowed for an approved graduate course
