courses, common business core courses, and chosen major courses will not
be granted by the School of Business unless such courses were completed
with grades of C- or better.
Appeals Process
Students who have been denied admission because of the
GPA requirement may write a letter of appeal to the Dean of Business for
a waiver of the GPA requirement presenting compelling evidence of both
of the following:
- Demonstrated academic ability in recent
coursework with an exemplary GPA showing a different pattern of
performance from prior undergraduate course work; and
- Intervening life experience, e.g., successful
work in a business or in a profession/vocation that has contributed
to the growth and maturity necessary to succeed in business.
The appeal will be reviewed and, if appropriate,
approved by a review committee. Faculty representing the five
departments of the School of Business will form the committee, and their
decisions will be reviewed by the Dean of the School of Business. The
dean or the committee may call a meeting with the applicant to discuss
the appeal in person. The decision regarding the appeal of the GPA
requirement will be communicated in writing to the student by the Dean
of Business or a member of the review committee.
Students who are denied admission to the Business
School for reasons other than GPA may meet with the Assistant Dean in
Robert Vance Academic Center, Room 216, to
discuss issues concerning the application and the appeals process.
