Degree Requirements Transfer courses will be evaluated by the College of Business and Innovation after
the
student has submitted official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended
and has been accepted by the college. The
student must complete the evaluation process before the end of the first term of attendance
at UT. For purposes of
determining the UT GPA, grades from another institution do not transfer. The GPA will
be based on the course work taken while

Business and Innovation from another
college within The University of Toledo, all undergraduate hours attempted and earned,
as well as the GPA, will transfer. To
qualify for the bachelor of business administration degree, students must fulfill
all College of Business and Innovation
course and grade requirements. No required course in the College of Business and Innovation
may be repeated at any other
institution for the purpose of transferring credit to The University of Toledo toward
any business administration program or
degree. Transfer students should note The University of Toledo will include all course work
taken at all institutions of
higher education in the calculation to determine if a student will graduate with honors.
All college course work taken is
computed in determining eligibility for graduation with honors, although no student
will be awarded a level of honors above
that indicated by The University of Toledo cumulative GPA. The University of Toledo
requires a minimum of 30 semester hours
of standard letter-graded courses from UT in order to qualify for graduation with
honors. Evaluation of Courses The
College of Business and Innovation Student Services Center (SSC) will complete the
evaluations based on course equivalencies
determined by the appropriate academic unit. In many cases, courses from other universities/colleges
have been pre-approved
for equivalency and will transfer with confirmation. Equivalent courses from AACSB-accredited
schools automatically transfer.
When automatic transfer does not exist, it is possible for a student to obtain course
equivalency by petitioning to take a
proficiency exam. Students should provide a course syllabus and/or any additional
documentation with the petition. Students
should contact the SSC for additional information.

Center and online through Student

was lower, can be made. Prior to fall
2006, if a student repeats a UT course and receives a grade of C (2.0) or higher,
a request to delete the original grade, as
long as the original course grade was a C- or lower, can be made. The request form

Center. If the original grade was earned because of cheating or academic dishonesty,
it will not be deleted. A maximum of 12
credit hours can be deleted.
Academic Probation When a student’s cumulative GPA falls
below 2.0, the student is automatically placed on probation.
Academic Suspension Academic
suspension means a student is dropped from The University of Toledo for a minimum
period of one semester. A student is
subject to academic suspension if he/she falls below the minimum requirements or fails
to make sufficient progress toward
attainment of the degree. No course work taken at any other educational institution
during the student’s suspension
shall be accepted as transfer credit. However, students may remove incompletes while
under suspension.
See the General Section of this catalog for additional details on University probation
and suspension policies.
