University at Buffalo School of Management

Termination may occur after only one semester if the academic performance is determined by the Retention Committee to be so poor that the committee feels the chances of succeeding in the program are minimal. Students who have been terminated from the graduate programs by the Retention Committee will receive written notice of termination. In most cases, a student is given a period of 10 days to respond to the termination if he or she feels that there are extenuating circumstances of which the committee is unaware. Students on probation may be permitted to take graduate-level courses in excess of the number required in their programs provided that the Retention Committee certifies that • the student has a reasonable chance of completing the degree, and that • the student is making progress towards the completion of the degree. Registration Procedures Full-time MBA students should check the registration dates and procedures published by the Registrar. Courses may be added and dropped by registered students until the end of the drop/add period. Both initial registration and drop/add are conducted through HUB, the University's on-line system. Full-time students are advised to check online for a revised schedule sheet before registering for courses. Changes are often made after the Registrar publishes the University schedule. Day MBA students may only register for PMBA sections if permission is received from the Graduate Programs Office. PMBA students will be alerted via email of registration dates and procedures. To take courses with the Full-time MBAs, PMBA students should speak with a PMBA office staff member for more information. Students are advised to bookmark and periodically check the PMBA web page that can be found at: http://mgt.buffalo.edu/programs/pmba Note: All PMBA courses (including mini-courses) adhere to the university's drop/add schedule, regardless of when they are held during the semester (i.e. mid-semester, spring break.) Release of Student Information The University will release certain information about a student if he or she has answered "Yes" to the question, "Do you wish to be listed in the Student Directory?" This authorizes the University to release current address, telephone number, major field of study, dates of attendance, and degrees awarded. A student may check the status of his or her information release indicator at any time by inquiring at the Student Response Center. Residency Requirements A minimum of 30 credit hours must be completed in the MBA programs at the State University of New York at Buffalo in order to earn a degree. Student Records Student records are confidential and are released only to appropriate faculty and administrative offices. Release of such records to any other college, prospective employer, or agency will occur only with written permission of the student or upon subpoena. Neither the Student Response Center nor the Graduate Programs Office gives student addresses or phone numbers unless the student has indicated that the University has permission to release information. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 has been amended to give a student the right, under certain conditions, to inspect and review certain records placed in his or her file after January 1, 1975. For more information, a student may contact the Office of Student Affairs. Summer Coursework Summer coursework is not required for the full-time MBA.
