Students requesting to transfer or substitute credits should submit a written request to the MBA program Manager for consideration of transfer or substitution credit hours, and should include a course syllabus for each course to be evaluated. All transfer or substitution credit hours must have been earned from an accredited university of college at the graduate level with a letter grade of “B” or higher and must be approved by the MBA Program Director.

Attendance Policy
Our attendance policy allows one absence per course without penalty. Students are expected to makeup work. A second absence, if permitted by the instructor, requires additional work to be completed as arranged with the instructor. A third or subsequent absence is not acceptable, the course will need to be repeated if there are three or more absences.
