Students accepted into the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick remain enrolled at their liberal arts college throughout the four-year undergraduate program, and are expected to complete the academic requirements of the major and the liberal arts college.

For the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick, an Academic Standards Committee, which consists of the department chairpersons and the associate dean of instruction, reviews all student academic problems.

While academic standards involve many issues beyond academic performance, including adherence to university procedures regarding academic dishonesty and illegal and/or unauthorized actions in the academic setting, students should be aware of the school's specific policy on grades for required, business-related courses. The policy has three parts:

1.  Students must retake any required course in which they earn a grade of D (1.0) or F/NC (0.0) and improve the grade to a C (2.0) or better. If students receive a grade of D or F/NC in a course that is a prerequisite to another course, they must repeat the course in which they received the D or F/NC and receive a grade of C or better before they may take the next course.

2.  Failure to receive a grade of C or better on a student's second attempt in a given required course will result in dismissal from the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick.

3.  Students must not earn a grade of D or F/NC in more than two required courses. Three grades of D and/or F/NC will result in dismissal from the school.

Since students in the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick retain their affiliation with their liberal arts colleges, dismissal from the business school is independent of academic action by the liberal arts college. Dismissal from RBS-UNB means the student may not pursue a Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick major. It may be possible for the student to pursue another major through his or her liberal arts college.

Students dismissed from the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick may petition the  Academic Standards Committee for reconsideration. This must be done in writing by the date indicated in their letter of dismissal.

These guidelines complement current college/university regulations on student academic performance.
