STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Familiarization With Catalog
It is the responsibility of each student admitted to the College of Business Administration to become familiar with the procedures and regulations of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Academic Advising
The aim and purpose of academic advising is to assist students in meeting the requirements of the degree program and to interpret College policy regarding academic requirements. In the College of Business Administration, academic advising is carried out through the Office of the Dean with primary responsibility for this function assigned to the Associate Dean along with the undergraduate advisers.
Students should see an adviser whenever they have questions concerning their academic program, but especially prior to registering for freshman year, choosing a specialization, and registering for senior year. Informal academic advising is an ongoing faculty responsibility. Many students have a difficult time getting in to see their adviser just prior to registration. We encourage setting an advising appointment in June and July during the summer, in September and October during the fall, and in February and March during the spring.

Prerequisite Requirements
Advancing toward the B.S.B.A. degree can be equated with building a house. It is necessary to begin with a solid foundation and work toward the finishing touches. Many courses in the various specializations require prerequisite classes. The pre-requisite classes are required in order to give the students the foundation necessary to complete the more advanced courses. Students enrolling in courses which have prerequisites may be administratively withdrawn from the course if the prerequisites have not been completed. This means the student will be dropped from the class and will receive no refund. Required prerequisites for all classes are given in the University catalog. See your adviser if you have any questions.

Orientation
The orientation services are designed primarily to familiarize new students with the university surroundings and to provide help with the first registration at UNOmaha. The information given to new business students at these sessions helps to ensure a good academic start, making orientation a service which cannot be overlooked.
Upon notification of admission to the University, or shortly thereafter, all new students are mailed information regarding orientation. Students not receiving such information within a reasonable period of time should contact the Orientation Office at 554-2677.

Transfer Students
Students planning to transfer to the College of Business Administration from another accredited academic institution or a college within UNOmaha must have an overall GPA minimum of 2.5. They will be classified as Pre-Business students until they have completed the requirement for admission into the Upper-Division B.S.B.A. Degree Program. The necessary paperwork should be processed at least one month prior to registration. This will help to insure the timely transfer of academic files and transcripts to the College of Business, enabling students to receive academic advice from their new adviser before the next registration period.

Evaluation of Transfer Credits
The CBA Advising Office is happy to answer inquiries from prospective business students considering the completion of their bachelors degree at UNOmaha. In order to speed an accurate reply, the prospective student should state his or her proposed specialization and furnish transcripts from all colleges and/or universities attended.

Since the evaluation of transfer credit during registration periods is difficult at best, transcripts should be forwarded as early as possible so that an academic evaluation can be completed well in advance of registration. To expedite the evaluative or admissions process, it is well to remember (a) students seeking admission to UNOmaha should forward applications and transcripts directly to the Admissions office; (b) students requesting an academic evaluation of credits earned elsewhere should address correspondence to Academic Adviser, Office of the Dean, College of Business Administration (transcripts furnished together with such correspondence remain in the Office of the Dean).

Filing Application for Admission to Upper Division B.S.B.A. Degree Program

Business students should file an "Application for Admission to Upper Division B.S.B.A. Degree Program" in the Advising Office during the semester in which they are completing the Pre-Business core. An audit of the student's academic record is then conducted. Admission to the Upper Division B.S.B.A. Degree Program is based upon the following: (1) completion of all Pre-Business coursework with a grade of C+ or better, and (2) completion of a minimum of 50 hours of credit with a GPA of 2.5 or better. Once admitted into the Upper Division B.S.B.A. Degree Program, the student is eligible to take Upper Division Business core and specialization courses.

Filing Senior Check
Every business student should file a "Senior Check" form in the Advising Office at the end of the junior year (or upon the completion of 90 hours). An audit of the prospective graduate's academic record is then conducted, and the student is provided with an official list of the remaining degree requirements. If the student fails to file the form, the student has the responsibility for meeting the degree requirements and, if in error, will be unable to graduate at the intended time.

Filing Application for Degree
All graduating students must fill out an "Application for Degree" form at the beginning of their final semester. The forms are available at the Office of the Registrar on the first floor of the Eppley Building. This simple and critically important procedure confirms that the prospective graduate is a degree candidate and assures the issuing of a diploma upon satisfaction of the degree requirements. Deadlines for completing the form are in the Undergraduate Catalog, the class schedules and are posted on the advising bulletin boards.

The Matriculation Form
The central portion of this publication consists of a blank Matriculation Form for the convenience of those students who wish to record their academic progress at the end of each semester. Similar records are maintained in the academic files which are kept in the Advising Office. Questions relating to the use of this form may be directed to the Academic Advisers, Office of the Dean, College of Business Administration (phone: 554-3419). Copies of the Matriculation Form can be obtained from CBA 415 (a photo ID is required).

Academic Amnesty
A student may remove one or two semesters grades from their cumulative grade point average and degree consideration by petitioning for academic amnesty in the Advising Office, CBA 415. Removal shall be by entire semester(s). Petitioning students must have completed 24 consecutive hours with a minimum grade point average of 2.5, (Part-time students 12 consecutive hours with a minimum grade point average of 2.5). Students who are granted academic amnesty will not be considered for degree with academic honors. The petition for academic amnesty is submitted to the academic adviser. The adviser will submit the petition to the Undergraduate Program Committee for final approval.

Change of Grade
A student may remove from the GPA a course grade of AD@ or AF@, if the same course is repeated and a grade AA@, AB@, C+, or AD@ is received (see adviser regarding change of grade from UNL or UNK). When a student retakes a course, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Registrar's Office, sign a form asking to have the past grade removed from GPA calculations, and request a recomputation of the cumulative GPA. Upper division accounting courses may be repeated only once. In awarding degrees with honors, all grades (including repeats and transfer grades) will be computed in the GPA.

Grade Appeal
Students who wish to appeal a grade which they feel was capriciously or prejudicially given shall first discuss the matter with the instructor. If a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached, the student may submit a written appeal to the Office of the Dean within 30 days from the time the grade was awarded. The Undergraduate Student Grade Appeal Committee of the College of Business will hold a hearing to make a final determination based on the facts presented consisting of two faculty members and two students. To appeal a grade received from outside the College of Business, students should first talk with their CBA adviser.

THE B.S.B.A. AS A SECOND BACHELORS DEGREE

The student must complete a minimum of 30 hours in residence in the College of Business Administration. Typically 69-73 hours is required for students who have no business courses completed.

This means that for students who have been continuously enrolled their catalog year can only extend back seven years. Students enrolled more than seven years will be moved up one catalog year at a time. For example, from 1993-94 to 1994-95.
• The earliest catalog available to an intra-University transfer will be that applicable at the time the student transfers to the College of Business Administration.
• Students entering the College for the first time in the summer may select the catalog immediately preceding or following the academic year of their enrollment.

Academic calendars are subject to change without notice.

The College reserves the right to revise or change rules, schedules, courses, fees, requirements for degrees and any other regulation affecting students including, but not limited to, evaluation standards, whenever considered necessary or desirable.

The College reserves the right to cancel any course for insufficient registration or to phase out any program.

Registration by a student signifies an agreement to comply with all regulations by the College of Business Administration.

Areas of Specialization

Accounting

Providing a contemporary accounting education for students requires that faculty in the program seek appropriate teaching methodologies and strive to incorporate the most recent developments in their discipline into the curriculum. The faculty of the Professional Accounting program are dedicated to providing students with the opportunity to acquire an excellent accounting education. They therefore try to create an environment which maximizes the development of critical skills such as problem solving, analysis, communication and teamwork.

After successfully completing the professional accounting program, many individuals find it challenging and rewarding to continue their development by seeking one or more professional certification designations. Several certification programs exist, including the Certified Public Accountant (CPA), the Certified Management Accountant (CMA), the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).

As of January 1, 1998, applicants for the CPA Exam will be required to have taken 150 or more college semester credit hours. Students who want to satisfy the requirement by obtaining a Master of Professional Accounting degree (MPA) should refer to the UNOmaha Graduate Catalog. Additional information about the requirements of these certification programs or the MPA program can be obtained by contacting members of the professional accounting faculty.

A student may enroll only twice in any upper division! accounting course. You are enrolled in a course if your name appears on the final class list published immediately after drop/add week. Therefore, you may drop a course only one time (excluding drops during drop/add week). If you drop the same course twice (or receive a D+ and/or F twice), you will not be permitted to enroll in this course a third time. To enroll in any upper-division course or to graduate with a major in accounting, a student must have earned at least a 2.5 overall GPA, as well as at least a 2.5 GPA in all accounting courses taken to date, including Accounting 2010 and 2020. This policy will be enforced each semester a student enrolls in an upper-division accounting course.

Prerequisites for non-business students taking upper division accounting courses are: a 2.5 cumulative GPA and a 2.5 GPA in all accounting courses completed; junior standing; and a C+ or better in ACCT 2020 and in ECON 2200. Students who wish to contract to take upper-division accounting courses as Ahonors@ courses should contact the course instructor.
