Students are admitted to the College of Business Administration with a minimum of 26 semester hours if they have earned a C average on all work undertaken. Students who begin their work with the intention of registering in the College of Business Administration should follow the prescribed freshman curriculum outlined on the following pages. Students who begin their work in some other area of study must present English 1, English 2, and Mathematics 21 before seeking admission to the College of Business Administration. Normal progress toward fulfilling the University requirement in military science or physical education is also an admission require ment. A student who presents sixty or more credit hours from some other recognized institution may be admitted to the junior class of the College, regardless of the particular courses he has had, provided he has completed the requirements for the first two years of the institution he attended. Such a student will be required to complete all of the prescribed freshman and sophomore work unless these courses or their equivalent are included in the credits presented. Although some courses may be postponed, the student will be required to complete the following courses at the earliest possible enrollment: English 1 and 2; Economics 102; Mathematics 2, Accounting 51 and 52; Business Communication 41; Business Statistics 84; and Economics 41 and 42. 1 Secretarial Science students following the two-year curriculum are not required to present Mathematics 2. 2 This requirement will be waived for the transfer student who presents six credit hours in American history, the equivalent of History 3 and 4; if he has completed a one-semester course in American history, he may satisfy this requirement by completing the other course in American history at the earliest possible enrollment. PLANNING A PROGRAM OF STUDY ADVISERS Under the plan of enrollment each student confers with an adviser and obtains his approval for a program of study. This program must conform to the plan of work for the degree as outlined under "Plan of Work for the Degree." The registration of all freshman students must be approved by the councilmen and advisers of the University College who are members of the faculty of the College of Business Administration. The registration of sophomore students in the College must be approved by the sophomore committee of the College of Business Administration, the members of which are official advisers of sophomore students in the College. A student who lacks fifteen or more hours in his freshman or sophomore requirements shall register with the sophomore committee and not with a major department adviser, even though he may have more than sixty hours of college credit. When a student has completed all of the prescribed freshman and sophomore courses, or lacks fewer than fifteen hours of completing them, he must declare his intention to follow a program of study outlined in one of the approved special curricula or to do major work in one of the following departments of the College: accounting, business management, business statistics, economics, finance, or marketing. The chairman of the department in which the student chooses his major work becomes the official adviser for the student during the junior and senior years. The student who elects an approved special curriculum will be advised by the chairman of the department offering the largest number of required courses. The student must secure the approval of his adviser before enrolling in courses. Requirements for the degree are clearly outlined. All students are specifically warned that they bear sole responsibility for full compliance with all freshman, sophomore, and major-minor or special curricula requirements for graduation from this College. Any irregularities in a student's work must be cleared up prior to his last enrollment before graduation. At the time of this enrollment the student must notify the Office of Admissions and Records of his candidacy for a degree and must check with his adviser for any irregularities. Students who do not meet these conditions will not be permitted to register as candidates for degrees. COURSE LOAD Students may enroll in fourteen to seventeen hours of work. An enrollment of more than seventeen hours is permitted only under the following circumstances: 1. The student's adviser may at his own discretion approve a maximum enrollment of eighteen hours, but normally his approval will be granted only when the following conditions exist: a. The eighteen hours include a course in basic military, air, or naval science, or b. The student earned a grade average of B or better the preceding semester, or c. The student is a senior who lacks thirty-five or thirty-six hours for graduation. 2. In exceptional cases the student may, with the approval of the Dean, be allowed to enroll in nineteen hours. 3. A student with an overall grade average of 3.5 may, with the approval of the Dean, enroll in twenty hours in a regular semester, or in ten hours in a summer session. No student may enroll in more than twenty hours. Students may enroll in less than fourteen hours only with the approval of the Dean. Such approval is given only in extraordinary circumstances and for compelling reasons. CORRESPONDENCE STUDY The facilities of the Correspondence Study Department are available to students enrolled in the College of Business Administration under the following limitations: 1. A student in residence must have the written permission of the Dean in order to study through correspondence. Because correspondence study is offered principally to serve students who cannot enroll in residence, the Dean gives this permission only in extraordinary circumstances. 2. A student enrolled in correspondence who subsequently enrolls for a new semester in residence must obtain written permission from the Dean to complete the correspondence course. Normally this permission will be given only if the student will complete the course within the third week of classes in a semester or within the seventh day of classes in a summer session. 3. A student who is a candidate for a degree at the University of Oklahoma may not take a correspondence course at another institution if that course is offered by the Extension Division of the University of Oklahoma. A student desiring credit at the University of Oklahoma for correspondence courses to be taken from other universities must register through the Correspondence Study Department at the University of Oklahoma. 4. Credit for extension work including that completed by correspondence study from other institutions, except as provided for in regulation 3, is not ordinarily accepted. In some instances, such credit may be accepted with the approval of the department concerned, usually after an examination is given here. 5. Not more than fifteen hours of correspondence work will be counted toward the bachelor's degree, of which not more than six hours may consist of the following required basic courses: Business Law 140, Business Management 151, Finance 151 or 154, and Marketing 100. (See also "Requirements for the Degree," Item 6, for additional information.) 6. The curriculum requirements for a major-minor program include, as a minimum, a major of eighteen hours and a minor of nine hours. None of the work necessary to meet these minima may be completed by corre spondence, except for six hours of the required basic courses as described in item 5 above. However, subject to the other limitations described herein, a student may complete by correspondence additional hours in the major and/or minor fields, or he may choose any of the upper-division business courses offered to apply on the requirement, “nine additional hours of upperdivision business electives." 7. The special curricula consist of required courses and some electives. None of the required upper-division courses (numbered 100 or higher) may be taken by correspondence, except for six hours of the required basic courses described in item 5 above. However, a student may complete by correspondence any of the required lower-division courses (numbers less than 100) or `any of the elective courses, subject to the other limitations described herein. 8. When a student has completed the residence requirements but lacks six or fewer hours and/or a few grade points, he may take as many as six hours by correspondence provided he can do so within all the other limitations. 9. A student may not enroll in more than six semester hours of correspondence work at one time. 10. The number of hours in correspondence or extension work (or a combination of the two) which may be counted toward the requirements for a degree shall not exceed one-fourth of the total number of hours required. EXTENSION WORK AT THE MIDWEST CITY-TINKER FIELD CENTER Course work at the Midwest City-Tinker Field Center will be acceptable for credit toward a degree or certificate provided the following conditions are satisfied: 1. All students enrolled for credit must be admitted to the University. 2. All students must have met all of the prerequisite requirements for each course in which they are enrolled. 3. The enrollment of persons employed on a full-time job must be limited to six hours per term. The total number of such hours acceptable for credit toward a degree shall not exceed sixty; however, none of these hours may be a part of the senior work, that is, "thirty semester hours, taken in at least two semesters or the equivalent," which must be completed in residence on the Norman campus except as provided under Item 6, Requirements for the Degree, as stated later. The total number of hours acceptable for credit toward a certificate shall not exceed sixty, plus credit for physical education or military science. A three-hour business subject, at any level, may be substituted for the four-hour physical education requirement. In order to receive credit toward a certificate the last thirty hours must be taken from the University of Oklahoma, which includes the Midwest City-Tinker Field Center. GRADING SYSTEM AND VALUE OF GRADE POINTS Grades in all courses are filed in the Office of Admissions and Records. The passing grades used are A, B, C, and D. The mark E is, used to indicate a condition with poor quality of work; F, a failure; I, an incomplete; and W, a withdrawal without grade. A is the highest passing grade and D is the lowest. Each hour of work for which a grade of A is received shall count as four grade points; B, three points; C, two points; D, one point; E, F, and I, zero points. REPEATED COURSES . If a student repeats a course for the purpose of attempting to raise his grade, or for any other reason, the grade established the last time the course is taken becomes the grade in the course. Previous attempts are included in computing the overall grade average on all work undertaken.
