The primary means by which the school will communicate announcements, events, changes in course offering, or other important information is via e-mail. Students who are admitted to the School should subscribe to the FSOA mail list to ensure that they receive notices from the School in a timely manner. Weekly announcements are distributed only by email. Back issues will be maintained for a short period on the school’ website.
Top of PageMajors, Minors, and Dual Degrees
Students may choose to minor in programs offered by the colleges other than the Warrington College of Business. Students may not double major or enter any dual degree program.
Top of PageGrade Point Average Computation
Once admitted to the 3/2 Program the student’ GPA is based only on those courses completed as a graduate student.
Top of PageStudent Academic Support System (SASS)
It is the student’ responsibility to be aware of their academic requirements. Students are encouraged to logon to ISIS each semester to view their degree audit. This audit lists all degree requirements for their particular program and indicates whether the student has met each requirement. Students should pay close attention to these audits and should, at a minimum, seek assistance from the appropriate advisor in the term prior to the semester in which they plan to graduate if they have any questions about their SASS audit. Failure to do so may delay graduation.
Top of PageAcademic Advising
The Associate Director is available for counseling on an appointment basis at the School’ administrative office (GER 210). All students are advised to seek guidance well in advance of registration periods.
Top of PageAccounting and Business Core Courses from Other Institutions
- Once a student has been admitted into the Fisher School of Accounting, he/she may not take any additional accounting or business core coursework at other institutions.
- Accounting courses taken at other institutions are not substitutable for the junior/senior level or graduate accounting courses required for the B.S.Ac. and M.Acc. degrees.
Top of PageMailboxes
All Master of Accounting students have a mailbox located inside the Student Commons Room (GER 114A). It is the student’ responsibility to check the mailbox at least once a week for correspondence from the Fisher School of Accounting.
Top of PagePetition to Waive School Policies
Any request to waive the policies of the School requires submission of a petition form to the Associate Director. The forms may be obtained from the school office (GER 210) or downloaded. Until a School decision is made, students should not operate under any presumption that the petition will be approved. If a student wishes to appeal the decision of the Associate Director, he or she should request that the denied petition be submitted to the Petitions Committee.
Students should be aware of the importance of submitting documentary evidence to support petitions and that events or circumstances beyond the student’ control are generally necessary for the waiver of a School policy. Petitions on matters outside the School’ jurisdiction are considered by the University’ Petitions Committee which operates through the Office of Student Services (202 Peabody Hall).
