2. Submit academic records.

Applicants should have their completed application form, along with official copies of their GMAT/GRE scores and official academic transcripts sent directly to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Those granted conditional admission, however, will attain full admission status earning a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in their first nine credit hours in courses recommended by MBA Director in order to continue in the program.

Requirements for Good Academic Standing, Suspension, and Expulsion

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in all courses taken toward the MBA degree are in good academic standing. Students with less than a 3.0 GPA are placed on probation and will be allowed to re-enroll up to two semesters with probationary status. A student with grades below “C” in more than two MBA courses, however, will be suspended from the MBA program.

While suspended, the student cannot register for any MBA courses. In addition, no courses taken whether at Alabama A&M University or at any other institution during the period of suspension will be counted toward the MBA degree. If granted permission to return following suspension, a student will have two semesters to raise his/her GPA to at least 3.0. The failure to do so will lead to the student being expelled from the program.
