• MBAPROGRAM
Graduate study in Business Administration at the University of Richmond is designed for professionals who hold either business or non-business undergraduate degrees. The MBA degree program is a decision-based course of study that provides students with the ability to advance to higher levels of management in all types of organizations.
The non-business undergraduate major, and the business major who completed undergraduate courses more than five years prior to enrollment in the MBA program , progress through a series of foundation courses which provide the background to advance to the MBA core sequence. This initial set of intense courses covers all the basic functions of business and also includes the decision-making tools that are applied in most of the core courses.
The undergraduate business major (who has graduated within five years of matriculation in the MBA program and has credit for all foundation subjects) begins the core study with MBA 511 and MBA 515, and completes the core by applying the acquired knowledge and skills in the MBA capstone course, MBA 580 - Business Policy and Strategy.
The degree is completed by the selection of two electives toward the end of the program. These courses offer the student an opportunity for specialization or to address some of the current and challenging issues facing organizations in today 's turbulent business environment.
Tbe objectives of the Reynolds MBA program are
• to prepare students for career growth as
they move through differ ent organizations and industries.
• to provide students with th e knowledge and tools to deal with cont emporary business challenges.

ACADEMICPROCEDURES
Registration
In registe1ing for courses, students are reminded that the set of foundation courses is to be completed before attempting other work. Moreover, it is presumed th at students enrolled in advanced-level courses will have the necessary academic background.
Students shall regist e r each term according to the instructions published by The llichard S. Reynolds Graduate School and the Universi ty Registrar. A calendar is published concurrently with pe1tinent dates.
Once registered , students may change their registration (drop/add) according to the published schedule. For a regular term, generally adds and withdrawals without academic record may be made during the first two weeks of classes. After that tim e only withdrawals-with -record are possible. The grade to be recorded during the withdrawal-with-record period is left to the instructor 's discretion .
To initiate changes in registration , the student should contact The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School Office promptly.
Limits of Work
A part-time MBA student may enroll in either thr ee or six hours per semester. Parttime students should consider requirements of their employers when scheduling academic classes.
A full-time student carries from nine to 12 semester hours in one semester. The maximum load for a graduate student is 12 semester hours in one semester.
All full-time students are urged to bear in mind that graduate work requires much more time and effort for reading, research, and organization of material than does undergraduate work. Every effort shou ld be made to limit outside work of every sort. If outside employment is an economic neces-
sity for a full-time student, that student must consult the director concerning the advisability of limiting his or her acad emic load.
Class Attendance
Each student is expected to attend all meetings of th e courses in which he or she is enrolled. However , th e spec ific attendance policy in eac h course of study is determined by the instructor.
A student may be held resp onsible for the work of a class missed. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence and any provision for make-up will be at the discretion of th e instructor. Missed classes , work, or tests may result in a poorer grad e, or failure, in the course (see V grade b elow)
Credit and Grades
The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School uses the semester hour credit value and the four-point grading system as applied to a normal A-F grading scale.
A semester hour is the value of one class hour of work a week through th e semester. Grade points are given to each semester hour according to the following scale:A (4), B(3), C(2),D(l),F(O),M(O), and V (0). Th e grade point average is dete1mine d by dividing the total number of grade points ea rned by the total number of academic hours attempted. Each of thes e totals is accumulated term by term .
Special grades also are used as follows: V- failing due to excess absence , W- witl1drawn passing, M- withdrawn failing,and X-grade not received from instru ctor. The V and M count as Fin the grade p oint average computation.
Incomplete Work
Two other letters are used in repo rtsfor The Richard S. Reynolds Gradu ate School students. I and Y mean that course work has
not been completed by the end of the term. The J, v. hich counts as a failing grade in the grade point average , is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made u p by the date the instructor specifies, b ut no later than the mid-term point of the n ext regular term. If the work isnot made up during the grace period, the J willbe co n ve rted to F unless the instructor has sub mitted to the registrar a written request for d e lay until a specified date which has bee n approved by the director. The Y, wh ich does not count as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incompletev. ork are deemed justifiable by the instructor.The re is no deadline for completion of the wo rk unless the instructor so specifies.In an y ca se , it is the student 's responsibilityto mak e arrangements for and progress to th e completion of an incomplete course . Part-time students carrying a grade of I or Y may not enroll for further cours ework without the permission of the dire ctor.
Academic Progress and Scho larship
A stude nt is expected to make steady progress towa rd completion of his or her program. A student who , over a period of one year, fails to complete an MBA course at the Cniversity of Richmond , unless completing elsew here an approved course for transfer, will b e terminated from the program. Such a student desiring to return to the program must reapply and be readmitted under the catalog standards applicable at the time o f reapplication.
A stude nt is expected to maintain an average of no les s than B (3.00) to remain in the MBA program. A student who earns less than B in two or more courses (whether o r not they are being taken for grad · uate cre dit) may be suspended from TheR h A JC ard S. Reynolds Graduate School. student who earns three Cs one C and one D, or one F will automati~ally be dis-
missed from the program A student who has been suspended or dismissed may apply for readmission after the lapse of one academic year. Application for readmission must be made in writing to:
Graduate Council
do Director
Tbe Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School
Tbe E. Claiborne Robins School of Business University of Richmond , VA 23173
Transfer Credits
It is expect e d that all work for the MBA degree will be completed at the Un ivers ity of Richmond. Under ce1tain circumstances, a maximum of six semester hours may be accepted in transfer. All coursework transferred must be completed at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized region al accrediting body for higher educ a tion , as well as an AACSBaccredited graduate school at the time the coursework is completed. Written approval by the director must be obt ained in advance if a student d e sires to take work elsewhere for transfer credit. Upon completion of the approved work , credit will be allow e d only if a grade of B or better is e arned , and after an official transcript documenting the fact is received by The Richa rd S. Reynolds Graduate School directl y from th e institution giving the instruction.
Records and Progress Reports
All work taken becomes a part of the student 's permanent academic record regardless of the level of the course and whether it is taken to make up deficiencies, to earn professional certification, or to satisfy the student 's personal interests. Official transcripts of the permanent academic record are available from the Office of the University Registrar.
The Office of the University Registrar sends grade repo1ts directly to the student 's home address after the close of each term.
Advice concerning progress toward the degree may be obtained in The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School Office.
