Academic Policies
Minimum Standards for GPA
The minimum acceptable academic performance for CBA undergraduates at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa is (a) cumulative GPA of 2.0, (b) GPA of 2.0 in the major, and (c) GPA of 2.0 in all required business courses and major courses combined.
Probation

2. The student fails to complete BUS 310, 311, and 313 within one year following admission to
CBA.
3. Satisfactory progress toward graduation is not being made.
Double Major
To qualify for a double major, students must have a minimum cumulative UH Manoa GPA of 3.0 and a minimum UH Manoa GPA of 3.0 in the two proposed majors. At the time of application, the student must have completed at least one different course in each major. Courses counted toward the double major cannot be used as courses to meet the non-introductory electives requirement.
Transfers
Students completing their first two years of work at a community college or at another four-year institution should take only those business courses offered at the freshman or sophomore level (e.g., introductory accounting, business law). Business courses taught at community colleges may not be used to satisfy upper division course requirements in CBA (e.g., business statistics). Junior-level and senior-level business courses are accepted only from colleges accredited by the
AACSB.
Withdrawal Deadline
CBA strictly enforces a three-week withdrawal deadline. Students should be aware that some colleges, especially graduate and professional schools, do not look with favor on records spotted with grades of
W. Similar attitudes are observed among some employers and scholarship grantors. |
