W. P. Carey School of Business Policies

Undergraduate Policies

Academic Standards

Critical Requirements

All business students must meet the critical requirements for their intended majors. Students who do not comply with the critical requirements are off-track and have holds placed on their records. These students must meet with an advisor to have this hold removed. If the student still has not met all critical requirements in the following semester, then further registration in the intended major is not permitted. For more information, access the Web site at http://wpcarey.asu.edu/up.

Probation

All business students, freshman through senior, must maintain a minimum GPA of "C" (2.00) for all courses completed at ASU. If this standard is not maintained, the student is placed on probation. Students on probation must see an advisor before further registration. Students on probation must obtain a semester GPA of 2.50 with no grade lower than a “C” (2.00). If a student on probation meets this requirement, but the cumulative GPA remains below "C" (2.00), the student is given an additional semester on continued probation. At the end of continued probation, the student must return to good standing (a minimum GPA of 2.00) to avoid disqualification.

Pass/Fail

Business majors may not include among the credits required for graduation any courses taken at this university on a pass/fail basis.  Pass/fail credits taken at another institution may be petitioned for use, but only if the student can demonstrate proof that the pass grade was equivalent to a “C” (2.00) or higher.

Disqualification

Students who do not meet probation requirements are academically disqualified. Disqualified students should meet with an academic advisor. These students may attend ASU during summer and winter sessions.

Reinstatement and Readmission

Students seeking reinstatement (after disqualification) or readmission (after an absence from the university) should contact the undergraduate programs office, in BA 109, regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing.

Academic Dishonesty

The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business follow the guidelines in the Student Academic Integrity Policy on academic dishonesty. A copy of the policy may be obtained in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.

The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business have adopted a policy on the student appeal procedure on grades. A copy of the policy may be obtained in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.
