GRADUATE STUDIES
A program leading to the M.B.A. degree is described in the Graduate Studies section of the University calendar.1) Students who are completing degrees in the Faculties of Arts and/or Science, or certain degrees in the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, may complete a minor in Business Administration.
2) Students who wish to undertake the Business minor program must have completed a minimum of ten courses. Application is made in the space provided on the Change of Academic Program Form, which must then be approved by the Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, or delegate. Admission into the minor program is selective: at the time of application a student must have a cumulative average of at least 65%.
3) A minor in Business Administration shall consist of 24 credit hours comprising the following courses: Business 1000, 1101, 1201, 2301, 4000, 4500, and two courses chosen from Business 1600, 2101, 2201, 3101, 3320, 3700, and 4320.
4) Course prerequisites to all Business courses shall apply to a Business
minor. Students should note, for example, that the prerequisites for
Business 4500 are Business 1101, Statistics 2500 and Economics 2010.
It should be noted that some courses are not offered every semester.
1) The Office of the Registrar and the Faculty of Business Administration will assist students with any questions or problems which might arise concerning the interpretation of academic regulations. It is, however, the responsibility of students to see that their academic programs meet the University's regulations in all respects.
2) No student shall obtain more than one undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Business Administration.
3) The Committee on Undergraduate Studies, Faculty of Business Administration, may recommend that transfer credit for certain Business courses be awarded on the basis of successful completion of professional courses that lead to a professional designation (e.g. C.A., C.G.A., C.M.A.). Applications for transfer credit should be made through the Office of the Registrar.
4) The Faculty of Business Administration may approve that credit for certain
Business courses successfully completed through Memorial University of Newfoundland's
former Extension Services Division be granted upon application to the Registrar
for transfer credit evaluation.

ADMISSION MODES AND REQUIREMENTS
Direct Entry (for High School Students)
Students may apply for admission into first year of the Bachelor
of Commerce (Co-operative) program (Terms A/B) directly from high school
by indicating this in the appropriate place on their Undergraduate Application
for Admission/Readmission to Memorial University of Newfoundland. Direct
entry from high school is subject to the applicant’s final acceptance
to the University and admissibility into either Mathematics 1000 or 1090.
Terms A/B normally starts in September.
Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students)
1) Students may apply for admission with Advanced Standing
into terms beyond Terms A/B up to and including Term 4. Students applying
for admission to a term beyond Terms A/B must have completed all of the
courses required in the program up to that term, including the courses
required in Terms A/B, with grades high enough to have met promotion requirements.
Students applying for admission with advanced standing must complete and
submit to the Office of the Registrar the Application For Admission to
the Faculty of Business Administration, normally on or before the deadlines
specified in the University Diary for the semester in which they intend
to begin their program.
2) Admission with Advanced Standing is competitive and selective.
Prospective students are therefore encouraged to consider an alternate
degree program in the event that they are not accepted into the Bachelor
of Commerce (Co-operative) program.
3) The primary criterion used in reaching decisions on applications
for admission with advanced standing is overall academic achievement.
Selection, therefore, will be based on a student's overall academic performance.
Students with weak overall academic records are unlikely to be admitted.
Transfers From Other Post-Secondary Institutions
1) Students who are transferring from other universities must
apply for admission to the University on or before the deadlines specified
in the University Diary for the semester in which they intend to begin
their program, to allow sufficient time for the evaluation of transfer
credits. Subject to items 2) and 3) under Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students) above, transfer students from other universities
will be placed in that Term of the program judged by the Admissions Committee
of the Faculty to be appropriate considering equivalent credits. Regardless
of the Term into which they are admitted, transfer students must complete
a minimum of two work terms.
2) Subject to items 2) and 3) under Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students) above, graduates of a three-year community
college business diploma program may be considered for admission into
Term 3. Space for Term 3 admissions is limited and competitive and admission
decisions will be based on overall academic performance. Specific course
requirements will be determined on an individual basis at the time of
admission.
1) Every candidate shall complete nine academic terms in the Co-operative
Program and shall normally be required to complete three work terms.
The 141 academic credit hours are distributed as follows: 30 credit
hours over the course of Terms A/B, 18 credit hours in each of Terms

for the minor are given under the Calendar entries for the Faculty of
Arts, the Faculty of Science, and the School of Music, and under the Calendar
entry for Sir Wilfred Grenfell College.
2) A student enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative)
program may pursue a minor (or equivalent) in other non-business academic

unit and ii) permission of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of
the Faculty of Business Administration.
1) The Faculty Council of the Faculty of Business Administration constitutes
the examining body for all examinations in Business courses. In addition,
the standing of every student will be assessed by the Committee on
Undergraduate Studies in accordance with the promotion requirements
outlined in Clauses 2, 3, and 8 below.
2) Students in Terms A/B will be considered for promotion to
Term 1 at the end of the Winter semester of their first year. At that
time, for promotion from Terms A/B, students must have successfully
completed the 30 credit hours prescribed in 3) of THE CURRICULUM above, with an
overall average on those 30 credit hours of at least 65%. Students who
do not satisfy these requirements will be required to withdraw from the
program and will not be promoted to Term 1.
Students who have been required to withdraw following Terms
A/B may be considered for readmission to the program in accordance with
the entry under ADMISSION MODES
AND REQUIREMENTS above, with the heading Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students).
A required withdrawal for failure to meet the promotion requirements
from Terms A/B will not be reflected on a student’s transcript.
3) For promotion from each of Terms 1 through 7, the requirements
are the achievement of a passing grade in at least 12 credit hours and
an overall average of at least 60% in those courses required in each
academic term.
Students in an academic term who do not maintain the appropriate
course load as outlined in Clause 2 of "The Curriculum," with the approval of the
Committee on Undergraduate Studies, will be required to withdraw from
the program and will not be promoted.
Students completing Terms 1 through 7 who fail to achieve these
standards will be required to withdraw from the program. A required
withdrawal from any of Terms 1 through 7 will be reflected on a student’s
transcript.
Students who have been required to withdraw following any one
of Terms 1 through 7 may be considered for readmission after the lapse
of two semesters, at which time they will normally be required to
repeat the term which they failed, unless, in the opinion of the Admissions
Committee, Faculty of Business Administration, a more meaningful course
of study would be appropriate.
In order to be considered for readmission, students must formally
apply for readmission to the program not later than the deadlines specified
in the University Diary for the semester in which they wish to recommence
their program.
4) The Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the Faculty of
Business Administration may promote a student notwithstanding promotion
requirements listed in Clause 3 above. A decision of this nature will
be made only for reasons acceptable to the Committee on Undergraduate
Studies, and in the case of a student thought likely to succeed in future
terms.
5) Work terms are scheduled in the "Plan of Operation - The
Co-operative Business Administration Program". The dates for starting
and finishing each work term are shown in the University Diary.
Successful completion of the work term requirements is a prerequisite
to graduation.
6) A competition for work term employment is organized by Business
Co-operative Education.
Students may obtain their own work term jobs outside the competition.
Such jobs must be confirmed by letter from the employer and approved
by Business Co-operative Education on or before the first day of the work
period.
By entering the competition, students give permission for Business
Co-operative Education to supply their university transcripts to potential
employers.
7) A work report on a topic approved by Business Co-operative
Education must be submitted for each work term. This report must be
approved by the employer and submitted to Business Co-operative Education
on or before the deadline scheduled by Business Co-operative Education.
Evidence of the student's ability to gather material relating to the report,
analyze it effectively, and present it in a clear, logical and concise
form, will be required in the report. Late reports will not be graded unless
prior permission for a late report has been given by Business Co-operative
Education.
8) The overall evaluation of the work term is the responsibility
of Business Co-operative Education. The work term shall consist of
two components:
Student performance as evaluated by a co-ordinator, given input
from the employer, and a work report graded by a co-ordinator or a member
of faculty.
Evaluation of the work term will result in the assignment of
one of the following final grades:
a) Pass with Distinction: Indicates EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
in BOTH the work report and work performance. The student is
commended for his/her outstanding performance in each of the required
components; pass with distinction has been awarded to each of the work
report and work performance.
b) Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS EXPECTATIONS
in both the work report and work performance. The student fully meets
the requirements of a passing work report and completely satisfactory
work term performance.
c) Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE in the work report
and/or the work performance.
For promotion from the work term, a student must obtain PASS
WITH DISTINCTION or PASS.
If a student fails to achieve the standards outlined above,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program and may be
considered for readmission after the lapse of two semesters, at which
time the student will be required to complete a further work term with
satisfactory performance before being admitted to any further academic
term in the Faculty.
9) A student who has been required to withdraw from the program
as a result of failing to meet the requirements of either two academic
terms or two work terms will not be eligible for readmission to the program.
10) Students are not permitted to drop work terms without prior
approval of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies upon the recommendation
of Business Co-operative Education. Students who drop a work term without
permission, or who fail to honour an agreement to work with an employer,
or who conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge
from the job, will normally be awarded a failed grade for that work
term. Permission to drop a work term does not constitute a waiver of
degree requirements, and students who have obtained such permission must
complete an approved work term in lieu of the one dropped.
NOTE: Students should also refer to the UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS -
GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) of the University.

Following Term 2 of the program for the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) degree, these courses may be completed during the Spring semester between Terms 2 and 3, or during any of the three Work Terms (for example, in the evening or by distance), or as sixth courses during any of Terms 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 (following submission of a course load waiver).
3)To meet
the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative),
not fewer than 15 and not more than 30 credit hours in elective courses
must be chosen from Business courses (including non-Business courses
prescribed for a concentration). Students intending to complete the joint
degrees in the minimum number of 150 credit hours should ensure that
at least 78 of these credit hours are completed in courses offered by
departments within the Faculty of Arts (or Psychology, Mathematics and
Statistics, and Computer Science). Careful planning, particularly in
the selection of elective courses as well as in the sequence of Major
program courses, is therefore recommended to ensure timely completion of
the joint degrees.
