Two Strikes Rule
A UNO MBA student may enroll only twice in each MBA course.
If the class is not successfully completed on the second attempt then the student will be dismissed from the MBA program.
An enrollment is defined as being enrolled in the course after the last day to withdraw via Mavlink and receive a 100% refund. The last day for withdrawal will be as stated in the current academic calendar.
In addition to the Quality of Work Standards established by the Graduate College, MBA students may repeat only once a BSAD 8xx0 level course in which they receive any grade, including "W" or "I."
MBA Program Academic Performance Policy
Each semester, student files will be reviewed where a student received a grade lower than a “B” (3.0 out of 4.0). Following this review, the Graduate Program Council (GPC) may place conditions or restrictions on the student. Following notification to the student, the student may petition GPC for a review of the conditions or restrictions imposed.
Students earning a third grade of "C+ "or lower (or any single grade below "C" (1.67 on a 4.0 scale)) will be automatically dismissed from the MBA program. Dismissed students will be immediately administratively withdrawn from all courses in which they are enrolled for MBA credit. Students who have been dismissed may not enroll in any courses for MBA credit in any subsequent semester or summer session until reinstatement has been granted by the College of Business Administration's Graduate Program Council (CBA GPC) and the Graduate Dean.
Students who have been dismissed from the MBA program may submit a written petition for reinstatement to the CBA GPC. Students who have petitioned the CBA GPC for reinstatement may not enroll in any courses for MBA credit. Upon receiving a petition for reinstatement, the CBA GPC will evaluate the student's written petition for reinstatement. As part of the reinstatement petitioning process, the CBA GPC reserves the right to examine the student's academic record and reserves the right to speak to any previous instructor who has taught the student and this information may be used by the CBA GPC in the reinstatement decision. Information provided by previous instructors will not be shared with the student.
Reinstatement is a privilege and not all students who are dismissed will be reinstated. Students who have been reinstated will serve a probationary period of the CBA GPC's discretion and must satisfy the probationary conditions specified by the CBA GPC. In addition to probationary conditions, reinstated students will be subject to additional reinstatement conditions as specified by the CBA GPC. These reinstatement conditions will include retaking one or more courses in which the student must earn a grade of "B” (3.0) or higher (the exact grade requirements for retaken courses may in fact be higher than "B" (3.0). Students not achieving the probationary or reinstatement conditions will be automatically dismissed.
GPC Will Consider Grades Earned in Repeated Courses.
When making decisions based on Quality of Work Standards issues, the Graduate Program Committee will consider the initial grade(s) received in a course as well as the most recent grade received for the course. This approach differs from the method used to calculate GPA in a student's Mavlink/Degree Works file, where the most recent grade replaces the grade received in the previous attempt.
