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.)
