The additional elective may be taken in Year 3 and/or Year 4 of the program and does not require the approval of the BBA director. The additional elective will count in the GPA, unless the student has declared the elective an 'extra' course, and is subject to any restrictions currently in the Undergraduate Calendar.
A student wishing to take seven courses in a term requires a GPA of 9.00 (B+) and approval of the BBA director.
A student's program that seeks to depart from normal course content or sequence requires approval, in advance, from the BBA director.
No more than 3.0 irregular credits may be counted towards an Honours BBA degree. An irregular course is defined as a course offered under a Business 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.
