Creditearned for these prerequisite courses will not count towardthe hours required for graduation, and the grades earnedare not included in the grade point average (GPA).Students may place anywhere in this sequence: MATH075, 090, 160, and 165. Satisfactory grades are requiredin MATH 075 and 090 to progress to the next mathcourse. Please note that MATH 160 is not a prerequisitefor MATH 165.Other RequirementsCourse Work LimitationsCourses that duplicate previous course work do not counttoward graduation, nor do courses in which failing gradesare received. Furthermore, credit earned in the followingcourses does not count towards graduation: BusinessAdministration 100 and 289; English as a SecondLanguage courses; English 070 and 071; Mathematics075, 090, 118, 121, 140, and 141; kinesiology, humannutrition, and military science courses; and foreignlanguage courses taken to fulfill a deficiency in the CBAforeign language additional graduation requirement.

BA 100, BA 289, ESL courses,MATH 075, MATH 090, and Academic Skills Programcourses do not carry academic credit and will not be usedin computing the grade point average, but will be used forthe purpose of determining full- or part-time status, andfor financial aid eligibility.Grade Point Average (GPA) RequirementIn addition to meeting all University requirements for thedegree, students must earn a minimum cumulative GPAof 2.00/4.00 in each of the following to qualify for graduation: (1) all courses taken at the University of Illinois atChicago; (2) all courses (UIC and transfer) countedtoward the degree; and (3) in the major.Graduation Declaration/Filing to Graduate/DegreeCompletionThe College of Business Administration is dedicated toassisting students with the achievement of both their academic and professional goals in a timely manner. Onesemester before graduation, CBA students must meet withtheir academic advisor to complete a graduation check.When students register for their final semester of courses,they will also declare their intent to graduate online usingStudent Self-Service. The deadline to declare graduation inthe Student Self-Service system is the end of the third week(fall and spring) or second week (Summer Session 2) of theterm in which graduation is sought. Failure to completethese two steps may delay the awarding of the degree tothe next semester. A final review of the records will bemade following the close of the term.Students completing all degree requirements for theirdeclared major will need permission from their collegeto enroll in additional undergraduate courses. See onlinecatalog http://www.uic.edu/ucat/catalog/GR.shtml for acomplete description of this policy.Enrollment Residence RequirementThe following college enrollment residence requirementsapply to all CBA students: Once a student has reached junior standing(earned 60 semester hours of college credit), he/she must earn at least 60 additional semesterhours at an accredited four-year institution. Thecollege and department enrollment residencerequirements must also be fulfilled. The last 30 hours of course work must be takenin enrollment residence at UIC. Furthermore, atleast 30 of the 60 semester hours in the BusinessCourse Requirements section of the curriculummust be taken in enrollment residence at UIC. At least two-thirds of the credit required for adepartmental major must be completed at UIC. Concurrent attendance at the University of Illinoisat Chicago and another collegiate institution orenrollment during the summer at another institution, when approved by the student’s college, doesnot interrupt the UIC enrollment residencerequirement for graduation.College PoliciesAcademic LoadTo be considered a full-time student during the fall andspring semesters, a student must be registered for aminimum of 12 semester hours. For Summer Session 1(Four-Week) and Summer Session 2 (Eight-Week), UICconsiders a total aggregate of 6 semester hours as theminimum number necessary to constitute full-timeenrollment. A maximum of 18 semester hours may betaken in a semester (12 hours between the two summersessions). To complete a CBA degree within four years, astudent must take an average course load of 15–16 hoursper semester. Students requiring prerequisite math orEnglish courses should plan to attend summer school toensure timely graduation and meet this goal. For eachhour of registered course work, students should expect tocomplete three hours of homework, studying, and reading.Academic Probation and Dismissal RulesStudents’ academic status will be based on their semesteror cumulative grade point average. Students are in “goodstanding,” “on probation,” or “dismissed.” Students cancheck their academic status after each semester on UICWeb for Student. Students who are on academic probationor who have been dismissed are informed of their status byletter from the college following the end of the semester.Probation RulesStudents will be placed on academic probation in any termin which they earn either a cumulative or semester gradepoint average of less than 2.00/4.00. They will then beexpected to earn at least a 2.00/4.00 semester grade pointaverage and to raise their cumulative grade point averageto a 2.00/4.00 to achieve good academic standing.Academic probation at UIC can only be removed bysuccessfully completing additional course work at UIC.Probation is broken down as follows.College of Business Administrationmeeting the General Education requirements for eachCollege of Business Administration degree program isdetailed in the previous section on General CourseRequirements.115

The following rules are applied to determine the academicstatus of a student on probation:1. A student in good academic standing is placed onsemester probation for any semester in which lessthan a 2.00/4.00 GPA is earned, but the UICCumulative GPA is 2.00 or higher (WarningStatus).2. A student in good academic standing is placed onacademic probation in any semester in which theUIC Cumulative GPA falls below a 2.00/4.00.3. A student currently on academic probation is continued on academic probation (unless dismissedfrom the University) until both the cumulativeGPA and the UIC GPA are raised to 2.00/4.00.College of Business AdministrationCBA Undergraduate Programs determines the conditionsof probation. In addition to specifying the grade pointaverage, the college may require the completion of specificcourses, limit the number of hours for which studentsregister, and exclude students from taking certain courseswhile on probation.116All students on probation are required to adhere to thefollowing terms of probation (academic restrictions).Failure to do so will result in registration holds andpossible academic dismissal.1. Students must meet with their academic advisorto complete an academic contract. The contractwill include any requirements and/or restrictionsfor the student’s next semester.2. Students must schedule an appointment withtheir CBA academic advisor two additional timesduring the semester to discuss their academicprogress for the term.3. Students cannot register for more than 12 hoursof course work for the semester (6 hours duringthe summer term).4. Students must seek tutoring in their weak subjectareas, i.e. math, accounting, economics, statistics,etc. Tutoring is available in the College ofBusiness Administration Undergraduate ProgramsOffice, during the fall and spring semesters, theHonors College, the Mathematical ScienceLearning Center, as well as many other supportprograms on campus.Dismissal Rules1.2.If a student is on academic probation, the studentmay be dismissed in any term in which he/shefails to meet the grade point average required bythe probation status and in which the cumulativegrade point average in courses taken at UIC is lessthan 2.00/4.00.If a student is on academic probation, the studentmay be dismissed in any term in which he/shefails to meet the grade point average required by3.4.the probation and in which the combined transferand UIC grade point average is less than2.00/4.00.If the student fails to make any significant progress toward a degree, the student may be dismissedfrom the college, and is therefore ineligible toenroll at the University in subsequent semesters.The student may be dismissed in any term inwhich he or she fails to comply with the conditions set by the College of BusinessAdministration.Change of Course Schedule—DroppingCoursesUndergraduate students may drop courses using StudentSelf-Service through the end of the second week of classesfor fall and spring semesters, the first Wednesday ofSummer Session 1, or the first Friday of Summer Session2. During weeks 3 through 10 of the fall and springsemesters (first Thursday through the second Wednesdayof Summer Session 1 or weeks 2 through 5 of SummerSession 2) students may drop courses with the permissionof their major college. If the drop occurs between 0 and 2weeks in fall and spring, there will be no notation on thetranscript. If the drop occurs during weeks 3 through 10
