Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes. A student is permitted to make up required exercises and examinations missed as a result of justified absences when these are authenticated and presented in a timely manner. University regulations permit instructors to include attendance among the factors determining a course grade.
Readmission to the Program
Students who do not register for three consecutive trimesters must request readmission by writing to the Office of Student Services. The school retains student files for a period of one year; thus, depending upon the length of time out of the program, the applicant for readmission may be required to resubmit all admissions credentials and pay the application fee. All persons requesting readmission must have on file a Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score no older than five years prior to the date of readmission. It is the responsibility of each applicant to check with the Office of Student Services as to the exact credentials needed. All readmitted students must fulfill the current curriculum requirements. The application of a student with a cumulative average below 2.5 or a student who has attempted 69 credits or more is referred to the scholastic standing committee for review and possible action.
Readmission to the program is based upon the availability of space for the specific trimester of reentry; thus, students are advised to make their applications well in advance. Readmitted students are also advised that any courses, examinations, advanced standing credits, or waivers taken or given prior to eight years before the date of graduation are not counted toward the degree.
Course Evaluations
Each trimester, students are asked to evaluate their classes using online survey forms. The process is conducted under strict standards of confidentiality. After final grades for courses have been submitted, comments and evaluation data are provided to the instructor as well as to the Dean's office and to the department chairs.
