Note:
The student must achieve a grade of 2.0 or better in each of the upper division courses that comprise the BAS program. No unit is given for any grade lower than a 2.0, and if the course is a prerequisite for another BAS course, that prerequisite is not met. A student who earns a grade lower than 2.0 in a BAS course may repeat that course only once. A student who earns a grade lower than 2.0 in two or more courses is subject to removal from the program. The Dean of the BAS Program in consultation with the VP Instruction will determine the feasibility of a student repeating more than one BAS course due to a grade of less than 2.0 Program Of Study
