  Program Characteristics

  Several important aspects of the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting should be noted. These include policies regarding grade point averages, class scheduling, and advising.

  Cumulative Grade Point Average

  Students in the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting are required to achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required for final completion of the program requirements.

  Academic Standing

  While an individual may be admitted into the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting on a regular-acceptance basis, it is possible that the individual's eventual cumulative GPA may fall below a 3.0 in any particular term. When this situation occurs, the student automatically is placed on "Academic Probation". This status dictates that the student's cumulative GPA must continue to improve in each consecutive term thereafter until the cumulative GPA reaches 3.0 and is then sustained at that level or higher. If, after being placed on Academic Probation, the student's cumulative GPA does not improve in each subsequent term, the student will be academically dismissed.

  
  

  Full-Time and Part-Time Student Status

  An individual may undertake the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting on a part-time basis. Full-time student status usually involves a nine or above credit-hour course load in Terms I and II. Part-time student status usually entails a 1-8.5 credit hour load in Terms I and II.

  Residence and Time Requirements

  Students who have not completed their required certificate program within two years may be subject to re-evaluation and additional coursework. Students not enrolled for more than four consecutive terms will be required to re-apply for admission.

  International Students

  International students should consult with the International Services Office.

  Advising

  The director of Graduate Business Programs serves as general academic advisor for all students entering the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting program. When appropriate, specific advising matters may be referred to the advisor in a particular academic discipline.

  Student Responsibilities

  Students in the College of Business Administration are responsible and accountable for knowledge of the requirements and procedures set forth by the College and University. Administrators, advisors, and faculty are available to assist students by explaining the various requirements and procedures for each program. However, the ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the student.

  Convenient Class Scheduling

  Classes are scheduled in the evening and on the weekend. Classes are currently offered on the McNichols Campus. Evening classes begin at 6:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday for Term I and Term II. Terms are 15 weeks in length. Each summer session is seven weeks in length. Summer I commences in early May. Summer II begins in late June.

  MBA with Certificate

  The certificate may be completed as a stand-alone program or in conjunction with our MBA degree program.

  A student who completed the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting would need only eight (8) additional courses to complete the MBA degree; or conversely, a student who completed the MBA degree with three Accounting electives from the certificate would need only three (3) more courses to complete the certificate. For details, a student should consult with the director of Graduate Business Programs.
