HONOURS PROGRAMS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

 I Honours Business Administration
The BBA program is based on the concept that a general
education involving an exposure to the liberal arts and sciences
is essential for a career in management and for the complete
development of an individual. The management portion of the BBA
program emphasizes two main objectives for its students: first, on
graduation, to prepare for meaningful responsibility immediately
and second, to build a foundation for a career in management. The
BBA program consists of 20 full-credit courses (or equivalent).
There are 11 Business credits of which 8.5 are required and 2.5 are
electives. There are nine non-Business credits of which three are
required and six are electives.
  Notes:
   1. Students should familiarize themselves with the
      registration and academic regulations of Wilfrid Laurier   
      University (see pages 18-30). Both the University
      regulations and the school/department regulations must be  
      adhered to.
   2. Upon completion of the Second Year in the BBA program, a
      student in good standing in the program may take up to a   
      maximum of one additional Business or non-Business elective
      credit. The additional elective may be taken in Third Year
      and/or Fourth Year of the program and does not require the
      approval of the BBA Director. The additional elective ll   
      count in the GPA, unless the student has declared the      
      elective an  'extra' course, (see page ) and is subject to
      any restrictions currently in the Undergraduate Calendar.
   3. A student wishing to take seven courses in a term requires
      a GPA of nine and approval of the BBA Director.
   4. A maximum of one credit in Physical Education and one and
      a half credits from Communication Studies and/or FS204, FS205
      is allowed in the BBA program.
   5. A student's program that seeks to depart from normal course
      content or sequence requires approval, in advance, from the
      BBA Director.
   6. Students registered in the BBA program are not permitted
      to count towards their degree more than one credit from    
      SC101, SC102, SC103, SC104, BI01*, CH101*, or AS105*.
   7. No more than three irregular course credits may be counted
      towards an Honours Business degree. An irregular course is
      defined as a course offered under a seminar heading and also
      a topic offered under the BU480 course. Students will only
      be allowed to take one BU480 course, and approval of the
      respective Area Co-ordinator and the BBA Director is  
      required.

 Probation
See page 25 Academic Regulations Section.

 Progression and Graduation Requirements for the BBA Program
See pages 24-25 Academic Regulations Section.

 Leave of Absence from the Program
A student may apply to withdraw from the BBA program for one, two
or three academic terms. The application should indicate the length
of leave requested, include the reasons for the requested leave of
absence, and be submitted to the BBA Director. The leave of
absence, if granted, will permit the student to re-enter the
program at the beginning of the designated academic term without
the necessity of review by the SBE Admissions Committee. Leaves of
absence, when  granted, are conditional upon the student being in
good academic standing (all Undergraduate Calendar requirements
have been met) at the time the leave is to become effective.
    A student who withdraws from the BBA program without having
obtained a leave of absence and who later wishes to continue with
the BBA program must apply to the SBE Admissions Committee for
re-admission.
    A student may not take courses for degree credit during the
period of a leave of absence.

 Transfer Students

 Transfer Into Second Year
The SBE Admissions Committee will consider applicants from other
faculties or recognized universities on the basis of the following
criteria:
  1. An applicant must have successfully completed the First Year
     of an undergraduate program. The courses in that program
     should be similar to those required within the BBA program.
  2. Students will be considered on the basis of their overall
     academic record in the First Year of undergraduate study. The
     level of achievement must not be less than that required of
     First Year BBA students for progression into Second Year.
     Where the number of applicants with minimum qualifications
     exceeds the number of places available, candidates will be
     rank-ordered on the basis of academic record.
  
 Inquiries about transfer into the Honours BBA program should be
made through the Admissions Office.

 Residence Requirement
Any student desiring to obtain a BBA degree must fulfil the minimum
requirement as a full-time student in the Second and Third Years
of the program.
