What is a “prerequisite”? (FAQ)

Answer

A prerequisite is a requirement or prior condition that must be met before taking a course.  Only the department offering the course is authorized to override a prerequisite.  If you are missing a prerequisite for a business course, see an advisor in 101 Mendoza.  Depending on the course, it may be possible to take the prerequisite concurrently with the course in question.

Can I go abroad for an entire academic year? (FAQ)

Answer

Business students have participated in international year-long programs, however, it usually requires very stringent scheduling and possibly summer school to complete all requirements and graduate on time in 4 years.  You will need to work closely with Dr. Gina Shropshire in the Office of Undergraduate Studies if you choose to apply for a full academic year.

What is the last date I may drop a 1.5 credit class? (FAQ)

Answer

1.5 credit business classes such as ITAO 30800 and MGTO 30120 must be dropped on or before 60% of the class sessions are completed.  So the drop deadline is always prior to the 9th class session.  Specific drop deadline dates can be found on NOVO in the Course Description.

Students can initiate an eForm (from insideND). For second half semester classes, the eForm is not available after the Friday after break week and you must see an advisor in 101 Mendoza or email mendozaugradadvising@nd.edu to initiate the eForm.
