No enrollment in SOM classes after the first week of Classes
(effective Spring 2010)
The School of Management does not allowstudents to enroll into a SOM class after
the first week of classes. Truly extenuating circumstances will be examined on a
case by case basis by the appropriate department head.
Extensions may only be allowed by the appropriate
department head (effective Spring 2010)
Students must seek the permission of the appropriate department head at all
times (or the student’s advisor may talk to the department head on the student’s
behalf ). Instructors may not accept or refuse class extensions; they may only make
recommendations to their head.
Retaking Course (effective Spring 2010)
This policy elucidates the “Retaking Courses”policy in effect since 05.15.06.
Undergraduate students may repeat required courses in the School of Management
Curriculum no more than two times within a five year period. This means that a
student may enroll in a required course no more than three times because s/he failed,
withdrewor was dropped out the course previously. Required courses in the School
of Management curricula include pre-business, pre-management, core and major
courses, as well as, remedial mathematics and English courses for those who need
them. Core courses include MGMT 31000, MGMT 32400 and OBHR 33000 for the BS
degrees. Core courses include BA 21000, BA 22400 and BA 23000 for the BA degrees.
Case of transfer students facing a changed SOM curriculum
as of Fall 2009 (effective Fall 2009)
All transfer students must automatically enroll into the newSOM curriculum dated
Fall 2009.
Case of returning students facing a changed SOM curriculum
as of Fall 2009 (effective Fall 2009)
Returning students who interrupted their studies at PUC for a term or more may
continue the curriculum described in the Course Catalog on the date of their joining
SOM. They may also opt into the newcurriculum which offers some real advantages:
fewer required credit hours for the degree and exposure to global business.
Case of re-admitted students facing a changed curriculum as of Fall 2009
(effective Fall 2009)
Re-admitted students must followthe newcurriculum in effect at the time of their
re-entry. Truly extenuating circumstances will be examined on a case by case basis
by the appropriate department head.
Clarification of “C or better” policy for pre-business, pre-management,
and major courses (effective Fall 2009)
Students are presently required to earn a C or better in their pre-business or premanagement
core, major courses, and for Mgmt 45000 (BS students). With the
introduction of the plus/minus grading scale by the University, the School of Management
is clarifying this requirement for students in the School of Management.
The “C or better”requirement will be interpreted as meaning a grade designated
by a 2.0 grade indexor higher in each designated course. Therefore, grades of C-
minus or belowdo not satisfy the “C or better”requirement and students earning
a C-minus or belowin the designated courses will be required to repeat the course
until a satisfactory grade is earned.
Change in BA Program – new pre-business requirements and grade
requirements for major classes (effective for students starting Fall 2008
and later)
The BA program nowhas a pre-business core consisting of the following courses:
ENGL 10400, COM 11400, Lab Science, PSY 12000 or SOC 10000, MGMT 10100,
ENGL 10500, ENTR 10000, BA 10500, MGMT 10200, ECON 21000, BA 12000, and
one course in the FR. Lang, Com or PSY sequence. Students must complete these
courses with a grade of C or better and must complete these courses before declaring
an option and moving on to more advanced classes.
Also students must earn a grade of “C”or better in the sixcourses for their major.
Policy on Dual Degrees/Dual Majors (effective 07.23.07)
A student enrolled at SOM may pursue two majors concurrently by working to
satisfy all degree requirements for the two majors. The student may not graduate
with one major and expect to come back later to finish the other major. The
student must complete all requirements for the two majors before graduation in
order to graduate with a dual major.
A student enrolled at SOM may pursue a major and a minor by working to satisfy
all degree requirements for the major and minor. The student may not graduate
with the major and expect to come back later to finish the minor. The student must
complete all requirements for the major and the minor before graduation in order
to graduate with a major and a minor.
A student who has graduated with one major may not come back and take the
junior/senior level courses in another major, counting some of the previous elective
coursework towards this second major, and expect to graduate again with a second
major. Similarly, a student who has graduated with the BS in Accountancy or
the major in Accounting may not expect to come back and attend a fewadditional
courses in order to graduate with a second degree in Accounting.
A student enrolled at SOM may not pursue both the BS in Accountancy and the BS
in Management with a major in Accounting; the two degrees present too much
overlap. A student enrolled in either of the degrees above who wishes to round up
his/her education should be encouraged to pursue a second major with a different
thrust than accounting, or a minor in a secondary field. IS, MIS and Finance are
often the chosen complements to Accounting.
If a student who has graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the School of Management
wishes to come back to Purdue Calumet for further studies in a different
discipline, s/he should be encouraged to pursue a graduate degree or a certificate.
Acceptance of Transfer Credit for Major Courses (effective 05.15.06)
Transfer credit is accepted for no more than two courses within the undergraduate
majors without permission of the appropriate department head. This policy applies
to the sixmajor courses required for the BS in Management, the sixbusiness option
courses required for the BA in Business, and the seven major courses required
for the BS in Accounting.
Retaking Courses (effective 05.15.06)
Undergraduate students may repeat required courses in the School of Management
curriculum no more than two times each within any five year period.
Required courses are those specified on the plans of study for each of the
undergraduate programs. This means that a student may take a required course no
more than three times whether the student retakes the course because s/he failed
the course or because s/he withdrewfrom the course. This policy applies to classes
taken after May 15, 2006.
Distance Learning Policy (effective 10.10.05)
The following guidelines will be used for enrollment in all School of Management
distance learning classes:
