Dear Accounting Majors:

 

As you should know the minimum grade requirement for all courses in the Department of Accounting and Information Systems (except Accounting 101) was raised from "C-" to "C" starting in this past fall semester. The minimum grade of "D" in all Economics and Business courses remains unchanged.  If you received a grade of less than "C" in an Accounting course this past semester, please follow these instructions:

 

1. Drop the following course in the sequence for which you may have previously registered.  For example, if you received a "C-" in Accounting 201, drop Accounting 202 immediately.  If you do not drop, we will eventually drop you which may cost you money and prevent you from registering for a substitute course.

 

2. Re-register for the course in which you did not achieve the minimum grade.  We suggest that you do not re-take the course with the same professor.  If the class is closed we will consider giving you an over tally based on room capacity.

 

3. Under no circumstances may you re-take the course in which you did not receive the minimum grade and the following course in the sequence in the same semester.  You must successfully complete the prerequisite course first before taking the following course in the sequence. 

 

Please note the Degree Works, which is unofficial, has in some cases retroactively applied the minimum "C" grade requirement to your previous courses.  Please ignore that notation.  We will approve you for graduation with grades of "C-" for all Accounting courses taken through the Summer of 2013.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Professor Milich
