Continuous Enrollment Policy for MBA Students
Upon acceptance into the graduate program, the student must maintain enrollment in each semester, excluding summer sessions, by either:

1. enrolling in one or more graduate courses; or,
2. registering for a Continuous Enrollment and paying the fee.

Failure to maintain Continuous Enrollment status by either one of the two methods will automatically discontinue the student’s enrollment in the master’s program. A student may maintain the Continuous Enrollment status by paying the Continuous Enrollment fee for no more than two consecutive semesters, excluding summer sessions. The student must then enroll in one or more graduate courses for credit or the student will be discontinued from the MBA program. A student who does not maintain Continuous Enrollment status or who is discontinued must reapply for admission to the graduate program when reactivation is desired.

Course Load
A full-time student is one enrolled in 9 or more MBA credits during a fall or spring semester. In determining appropriate course load per academic session, the working student should consider that each MBA course entails, on average, approximately three hours of out-of-class study for each hour of in-class time. The following are general guidelines:

     Hours Employed Per Week              Suggested Credits Per Semester
                   10-20                                                      9-12
                   21-40                                                      6-9
                 Over 40                                                     3-6

The normal full-time load is 9 credits per semester. A student wishing to enroll in more than 9 credits needs permission from his or her graduate advisor.

Courses Taken at Other Institutions
Students desiring to pursue summer course work or additional work at another institution must secure written approval from their academic advisor and/or the registrar prior to beginning the work in order for the credits to transfer into York College. Course approval forms to obtain such permission are available in the MBA Office. In order to receive transfer credit from courses at other institutions, a
student must receive a grade of "B" or better. Credit hours for these courses are transferred, but grades and quality points will not transfer.

Change of Concentration
A student who decides to change his or her concentration may do so by contacting the MBA Office in writing. At this time, the student will be assigned a new advisor in the new program of study. When a change of concentration is made, the student must follow the degree requirements in the program of study at the time he or she has declared the new concentration.
