requirements. In general, credit for courses completed at other institutions
must have been taken at the same level as the equivalent course at Clayton
StateUniversity.
7. Prerequisites.
Students should pay careful attention to course
prerequisites in order to sequence courses appropriately in their programs of
work. This is especially important at the sophomore-junior transition and as
students near the end of their graduation requirements. All business
prerequisites for College of Business courses require that a student earn a
grade of
C
or better (or
K
) in the prerequisite business courses before the
student may take a course requiring the prerequisite. The one exception to
this is MATH 1241 (D) which is a prerequisite for FINA 3101.
A student may
be removed from any course for which he or she has not met the
prerequisite.
College of Business Administrators have the authority to waive
prerequisites for Collegeof Business courses.
8. Policy on credit by exam in business courses for BBAmajors.
For the
BBA, grades of
K
(credit by exam such as CLEP) will be accepted only for
Macroeconomics (ECON 2105), Microeconomics (ECON 2106), and
Financial Accounting (ACCT 2101). Transfer students will be required to
meet the same criteria as Clayton State students. (CLEP credit for other
business courses may be allowed in non BBA majors. Contact the
appropriate college for details.)
