ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
Admission as a FreshmanEntering UAH freshmen interested in business administration must meet the general entrance requirements of the University. Students who intend to pursue the BSBA degree should read carefully the Admissions Information section of the catalog. Students who have had inadequate high school preparation or who are placed in certain lower-level classes because of the results of placement tests may have to take one or more of the following courses:
These courses carry no academic credit but will appear on transcripts of students who successfully complete the courses. Pre-Business ClassificationAll undergraduate students entering the College of Business Administration are admitted with a pre-business classification. Regular students remain in this classification until they are admitted to the upper division of the College of Business Administration. Any request for deviation from these requirements must be petitioned through the College's Office of Academic Assistance. Students not admitted into the upper division may not attempt any business course number above 299. To have the pre-business classification changed, students should apply through the College's Office of Academic Assistance for admission to the upper division of the College. The Office of Student Records cannot make this change. Special StudentsIndividuals admitted to the University as conditional/probational must have their status changed to regular through the Office of Student Records and complete all upper division admission requirements before applying for admission to the upper division of the College and choosing a major. Special students may not attempt upper level business courses. Admission as a Transfer StudentClick here for Transfer Student Checklist and FAQStudents planning to transfer into the College of Business Administration from a two- or four-year institution to obtain the BSBA are advised to follow the transfer program outlined below: General Educational Requirements
The specific credit for work done at other institutions which will apply toward the BSBA degree is determined by the College's Director of Advisement. Allowance of transfer credit by the Office of Admissions and Records does not necessarily mean that such credit will be applied toward a BSBA degree. All inquiries concerning the applicability of credit should be made to the College's Director of Advisement (256-824-6024). Credit for business administration courses taken in schools with programs accredited by the AACSB-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is transferable to UAH. Credit for courses taken in programs without AACSB accreditation may be accepted with validation or approval of the Dean. Course work taken at a junior college after a student has earned more than 64 semester hours of credit may not be accepted for transfer. Courses taken at the lower division at another institution which are upper-division courses at UAH will be accepted for transfer only after successful validation. See the College's Director of Advisement for the policy about specific transfer courses. These policies have been in effect since December 14, 1982. Admission to the Upper DivisionAdmission to the upper division of the College of Business Administration is available to students who have:
Note: For degree-seeking students in the College of Business Administration, admission to the upper division is a prerequisite for all upper division courses (numbered 300-499) in the College. Degree-seeking students in the College registering in upper-division business courses without completing the prerequisites and being admitted to the upper division will be administratively withdrawn from those classes. Residence RequirementAt least 12 of the last 18 semester hours of a student's program and a minimum of 32 semester hours of the total degree program must be completed at UAH. For BSBA students, the hours taken in residency must include at least 50 percent of the BSBA program (core curriculum and major option) including a minimum of 12 hours in the major option and 3 hours in MGT 499, Business Policy. Students who are required to take additional courses within the College of Business Administration in order to meet the residence requirement may be required to complete more than 128 semester hours in order to graduate. Probation and DismissalStudents are placed on probation at the end of any semester in which they do not have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
