Texas A&M University core values include excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service. In addition to these, Mays Business School emphasizes seven core competencies, identified by employers as critical for a successful business person, and important to developing a transformational leader

Transformational leaders are responsible, ethical leaders with vision and strong business competencies who exemplify selfless service and value diversity and inclusion. To become a Mays Transformational Leader requires a combination of intentional mindsets, business acumen, and competencies.

A mindset is the lens to evaluate a situation. It determines the questions to ask and the priority structure for weighing alternatives.

A competency is a skilled behavior or habit. They shape the observable actions in responses to situations.

REGISTRATION AND WAITLIST PROCEDURES

REGISTRATION

Every student is required to register when entering the university and thereafter as announced by the registrar. Undergraduate Advising Office academic advisors and upper level major academic advisors offer preregistration advising.

A preregistration period is held for currently enrolled students to register for the next semester during the fall and spring semesters, in November and April, respectively. The Office of the Registrar, registrar.tamu.edu/, assigns individual registration times. Students can use the Howdy  My Profile icon (approximately mid- to late March and mid- to late October) to view their assigned registration times.

For questions about the assigned registration times contact Registration: 979.845.1003 or registration@tamu.edu.

Registration Holds. Students can use the Howdy  My Profile icon to check for registration, transcript, or graduation holds. Departments have the ability to place holds on students’ records to prevent registering for classes. The type of hold placed on a student’s record determines if a student will be able to register for classes.

WAITLIST REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

A student unable to register for a course because no seats are available, may be able to request “waitlist” registration. Departments may elect to offer waitlist registration. Each department establishes its own rules about waitlist registration. Before requesting waitlist registration meet with an academic advisor about course scheduling options.

Students requesting waitlist registration into a Mays Business School course must follow rules, guidelines, and deadlines of the offering department:

ACADEMIC RULES AND DEFINITIONS

Each student has the responsibility to be fully acquainted with and to comply with the Texas A&M Student Rules, student-rules.tamu.edu/ More specific rules, information and procedures may be found in various publications. In the following section Mays Business School highlights for you several important academic rules and definitions.

1. ADDING/DROPPING COURSE DEADLINES.

Add: 5th class day of a fall or spring semester; 4th class day of a summer term.

Drop: 5th class day of a fall or spring semester; 4th class day of a summer term.

For specific semester or term dates refer to the Academic Calendar, registrar.tamu.edu/

2. SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY GRADING.

Courses taken to satisfy General Elective requirements may be taken on a satisfactory/ unsatisfactory (S/U) basis. The grading status may be changed via online registration, through the deadline to add/drop classes. Refer to the Adding/Dropping Course deadlines.

3. Q-DROP. The symbol Q is given to indicate a course dropped without academic penalty. Per University Student Rules, student-rules.tamu.edu/, 1.18, undergraduate students are normally permitted four Q-drops during their undergraduate studies at Texas A&M, regardless of transfer status. State law prohibits students from having more than six dropped courses from all state institutions attended during their undergraduate career. Q-drops in one-hour courses will not count in the Texas A&M limit of four but are included in the State-mandated limit of six dropped courses.

The Q-drop deadline in a fall or spring semester is the 60th class day; in a summer term it is the 15th class day; in a 10-week summer semester it is the 35th class day. Courses taught on a shortened format or between regularly scheduled terms have proportional deadlines, determined by the registrar’s office.

Refer to Academic Calendar and Add/Drop and QDrop Deadlines for dates, registrar.tamu.edu/.

4. WITHDRAWAL. An official withdrawal from the university will result when a student drops all inprogress courses in a particular term. Meet with an academic advisor about this option and required procedures.

The deadline to withdraw in a fall or spring semester is the 60th class day; in a summer term it is the 15th class day; in a 10-week summer semester it is the 35th class day.

Refer to Academic Calendar for dates, registrar.tamu.edu/

6. TRANSFER CREDIT. Acceptance of transfer credit will generally be limited to those courses taught in the freshman and sophomore years at Texas A&M University. Refer to pages 43-44 for complete details and information.

Business students are instructed to have ALL TRANSFER CREDIT posted into official Texas A&M University transcript record BEFORE the first class day of the graduating semester.

7. PUBLIC SPEAKING. Business undergraduate students are advised to take COMM 203 (SPCH 1315) Public Speaking in a classroom setting.

ACADEMIC RULES AND DEFINITIONS (Continued)

8. REPETITION OF A COURSE. Any undergraduate wishing to repeat a course must do so before they complete a more advanced course in the same subject. Credit for a repeated course may only be used once toward degree requirements.

A student repeating a course completed at Texas A&M in which a grade of B or better has been earned will not receive grade points for the repeated course, unless the catalog states the course may be repeated for credit.

9. INCOMPLETE GRADE (Revised: 2021). A temporary grade of I (incomplete) at the end of a semester may be given by an instructor when a student has completed the course with the exception of a major quiz, final exam, or single major assignment for university excused absence or other extenuating circumstances. See Student Rules, 10.6, student-rules.tamu.edu/rule10/.

10. UNDERGRADUATE MINORS (Revised: 2021). A maximum of two minors can be completed by students. See Student Rules, 14.16. For a list of university approved minors refer to registrar.tamu.edu/Registrar/media/REGI_SpecPD FDocs/UniversityApprovedMinors.pdf.

b. Meet with UL major academic advisor and complete the Request for Minor Field of Study –BBA Curricula form.

i. Lower-level business (BUAD) students meet with the academic advisor of their intended UL major to complete the Request for Minor Field of Study – BBA Curricula form. Then return the form to Undergraduate Advising.

c. Deadline to declare minor is by the date on which they apply for graduation.

d. Once declared, minor requirements become graduation requirements. A minor is displayed on the transcript after graduation but is not displayed on the diploma.

11. DISTINGUISHED STUDENTS (Revised 2013).

a. Distinguished Student: An undergraduate student who completes a semester schedule of at least 15 hours or a summer session

schedule of at least 12 hours with no grade lower than C and with a grade point of not less than 3.5 for the semester or summer session. See Student Rules, 11, studentrules.tamu.edu/rule11/

See Student Rules, 15, studentrules.tamu.edu/rule15/.

13. COURSE PREREQUISITES It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that course prerequisites are met. Prerequisites are listed in the catalog and in the class schedule. Failure to meet course prerequisites can result in a student being dropped from registration in the course

14. DOUBLE MAJOR. Only students admitted to the Business Honors major (BHNR) may elect a second major field of study within the BBA degree. The BHNR student must satisfy all university and business school requirements and complete all curriculum requirements for each major. This option leads to the granting of one BBA degree with two majors. Additional restrictions may apply.

“When I accept a job offer (including internships) in good faith, I will:

1. Stop all interviewing,

2. Notify, on a timely basis, all other employers actively recruiting me that I have accepted an employment offer; and

3. Fulfill my commitments in the job offer I have accepted, and not consider other offers of employment

If I need to cancel a scheduled interview, I will do so as soon as possible. If I cancel a Career Center interview, the No Show and Late Cancellation Policy will be enforced. I will request reimbursement for only reasonable and legitimate expenses by employers in the recruiting process.”

Consequences for failure to honor this code of ethics may include being blocked from using careercenter.tamu.edu and Career Center resources, as well as informing your department head. Other ramifications may include a loss of opportunities for all students if an employer decides to stop recruiting Mays Business School and/or Texas A&M University students. When interacting with employers remember that your conduct is not only a refection upon you, but also Mays Business School and Texas A&M University.

As you have questions regarding the job search, contact your Career Coordinator or anyone else at the Career Center.

TRANSFER OF COURSE CREDIT

The transfer of course credit is determined by the Office of Admissions on a course-by-course basis. The Transfer Course Equivalency website is a searchable database of course equivalencies/evaluations for U.S. colleges and universities, https://howdy.tamu.edu/uPortal/p/tce-ui.ctf1/max/render.uP

The evaluation of courses on the site is a guide, and transferability of any given course is not guaranteed until evaluated on receipt of an official transcript. Specific course equivalencies require review based upon the unique characteristics of each college and university and may differ from one institution to another.

Acceptance of transfer credit for business courses will generally be limited to those courses taught in the freshman and sophomore years (100- and 200-level) at Texas A&M University.
