enroll in or waive health insurance. Part-time students who switch to full-time status prior to the completion of the core will be required to take the Business Communication Sequence. Part-time students who register for nine or more credit hours for two or more consecutive quarters are automatically assessed the mandatory health fee and full-time activity fee. MS to MBA Student Status A full-time MS student must petition in writing by November 30th to Andrew Brayda, in the MBA Admissions office, to request consideration for a change of program from MS to MBA (effective at the completion of the MS program). The petition should include information on why the student wishes to transition to the MBA program, short-term career interests, and expected graduation date. Students are evaluated on the strength of their previously submitted MS application, their Simon Business School academic performance, and are reviewed with all applicants to the MBA program for that year. MS students must hold a minimum 3.1 GPA in completed Simon Business School courses to receive admission consideration, and if admitted, must maintain this GPA through any remaining MS classes. While additional course requirements vary by MS program, a minimum of an additional 30 credits/10 courses must be completed to obtain an MBA. Continuous Enrollment Students must maintain continuous enrollment to obtain their degree. Full-time MBA/MS and PhD students must register for the fall, winter and spring quarters to maintain continuous enrollment; they need not register for the summer quarter. Part-time students must register for at least one course every fall, winter, and spring quarter to be continuously enrolled. Students must be either continuously enrolled or on a leave of absence to be considered in good standing. Leave of Absence MBA/MS students who are unable to maintain continuous enrollment may remain matriculated in the degree program by taking a leave of absence. Students considering a leave of absence are encouraged to first consult with their academic advisor. To apply for a leave of absence, students must register for GBA 985 (Leave of Absence) by completing the Leave of Absence Form, which includes the reason for the request and the expected duration of the leave, and submit it to the Registrar’s Office for processing. Students may request a leave of one term up to a maximum of three terms (one academic year). Scholarships should not be affected if the student is on an approved leave of absence and is expected to return within one academic year. International students must have the permission of the ISO prior to applying for a leave of absence. Students who have not maintained continuous enrollment will not be allowed to register for courses until the continuous enrollment requirement is satisfied. Students failing to register for three consecutive quarters will be withdrawn from the program. Withdrawal from School At Simon, students, faculty and staff work in partnership. When a student contemplates leaving the program for any reason, that departure has an effect on everyone related to that student. Before a student may withdraw from either the MBA or MS program, we require that the student meet with a member of the administration. This person will discuss with the student the reason for the withdrawal and determine if the factors necessitating the withdrawal could be changed. If after discussion, a student still wishes to withdraw from the program, the Withdraw from Program Form must be completed and submitted it to the Registrar’s Office for processing. Students withdrawing from Simon Business School are subject to the refund policy which is available on the Registrar’s website. Students enrolled in the MS Medical Management program must consult with the Director of the Program. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Simon Graduate School of Business, as part of the University of Rochester, complies fully with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232g. Under FERPA, students have, with certain limited exceptions, the right to inspect and review their educational records and to request the amendment of their records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights. Requests to inspect or review records should be addressed to the Registrar, or to the appropriate administrator responsible for the records, and will be honored within 45 days. Any student questioning the accuracy of any record may state his or her objection in writing to the University administrator
esponsible for the record, who will notify the student of their decision within 45 days of receiving the objection. Final review of any decision will be by the appropriate dean who, if requested by the student, will appoint a hearing committee of two faculty members and one staff member to investigate and make recommendations. Students concerned with the University’s compliance with FERPA have the right to file complaints with the U.S. Department of Education’s Family Compliance Office. FERPA further requires, again with certain limited exceptions, that the student’s consent must be obtained before disclosing any personally identifiable information in the student’s education records. One such exception is disclosure to parents of dependent students. Another exception is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests, on a “need-to-know” basis, as determined by the administrator responsible for the file. A “school official” includes: anyone employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); any person or company acting on behalf of the University (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); any member of the Board of Trustees or other governance/advisory body; and any student serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review education records in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Other exceptions are described in the FERPA statute and regulations 34 C.F.R. Part 99. The University considers the following to be directory information: name, campus address, e- mail address, home address, telephone number, date and place of birth, academic fields of study, dates of attendance, current enrollment (full or part-time), photographs, participation in recognized activities and sports, degrees and awards, most previous educational institution attended, and other similar information. The University may publicize or respond to requests for such information at its discretion. However, the use of records for commercial or political purposes is prohibited unless approved by the appropriate Dean. Updating Student Information Students may change their address online through the Student Information System. International students on F-1 visa must notify the Registrar’s Office and International Service Office (ISO) within 10 days of moving to a new address. Students who change their names must complete the Change of Name Form and submit an acceptable form of proof of the name change to the Registrar’s Office to change your name in the Student Records System. Acceptable forms of proof include an original birth certificate, court order, driver’s license, marriage certificate, or passport documents. International students must notify the Registrar’s Office and the International Service Office (ISO), and submit one of the acceptable forms of proof (above). Conduct and Expectations. Etiquette In the classroom, students are expected to demonstrate the same professional behavior that they would in a business setting. This includes, but is not limited to, timely arrival, notifying faculty in advance of any planned absence, informing the faculty member of the reason for any unplanned absence and active but non-monopolizing participation in classroom discussion. It is important to know that some faculty adjusts grades based on attendance and/or class participation. Out of courtesy to others, students should enter or exit the classroom quietly from the back of the room if class is in session. Care should be taken not to disrupt the class by picking up class notes or otherwise creating a disturbance. In addition, each student should obtain only one course curriculum packet per course. If a student elects to drop a course, the class materials should be returned to the appropriate faculty assistant. Students are expected to either turn off cellular phones and beepers or turn their devices to a non-audible notification when in class or attending presentations. Students are also discouraged from using their laptops while in class or attending presentations unless its use is required. The same courtesies extend to your interactions outside the classroom. It is expected that you will be on time to team meetings and that you will notify your teammates if you plan to be away. Similarly, timely arrival at other scheduled Simon activities, especially those involving guest speakers, is expected. In addition, students are reminded to reply to invitations from faculty, deans and staff when requested. Simon Expectations Students are expected to approach their graduate business studies as a professional endeavor. Please remember that
