Program Notes

1. Students in Business I are not eligible to take upper Level Commerce course work. COMMERCE 1AA3  and 1BA3  are not open to Business I students who entered prior to September 2014.
2. Students have only one opportunity to be reviewed for entry to Commerce II. Other options may be pursued through the Academic Programs Office.
3. To be considered for entry into Commerce II a Business I student must have met all of the following:

• achieved a GPA of at least 5.0 on a minimum of 24 units of course work for Business I (on first attempts only) and these must include all required courses of the Business I program;
• successfully completed, on first attempts only, all Business I required courses (See Business I Requirements). An exception to this condition is that no more than a single failure of a Business I required course is allowed for students with a GPA of at least 5.0 on a minimum of 24 units of course work for Business I.  These students must successfully complete the failed course at the earliest possible opportunity or they will not be able to continue in the program;
