Re-Admission Process:

With the guidance of a Carson College advisor, the student must complete this 2-step process in order to be considered for re-admission into the Carson College of Business.

STEP 1: Raise Your Business GPA to 2.50

To be considered for re-admission into the Carson College of Business and be reinstated into your previous major, you must first attain a WSU Business GPA of 2.50 or higher, and be on good academic standing. To help you accomplish this, you will need to develop a plan for how you will raise your Business GPA. Follow these steps to develop your plan:

Calculate your GPA: Using a College GPA Calculator, enter all WSU business classes that are listed in your myWSU AR report (WSU Business GPA section).
Find Courses you can Repeat: Identify all business courses where you received the grade of C- or lower. Check the WSU Catalog and determine if these courses have a prerequisite that requires admission into a Carson College major. Students who have been released from their major will not meet this prerequisite, hence you cannot repeat these classes (example below).

Accounting (ACCTG)

330 Intermediate Accounting I 3 Course Prerequisite: ACCTG 230 and 231, or ACCTG 298; admitted to a major or minor in the College of Business or Data Analytics. Conceptual and technical issues of financial reporting and ethical, political, and economic consequences related to accounting choice.

If the course does not have this prerequisite, it can be repeated (example below). However, students repeating a course for the third time must receive approval by the Department Chair to register. Your Advisor can inform you on what to do in this situation.

Management Information Systems (MIS)

250 Managing Information Technology 3 Course Prerequisite: Sophmore Standing. Comprehensive overview of the role of management information systems in business, including principles and application of MIS, key issues in developing and implementing information systems, and strategic value of IT to organizations.
Create your Graduation Plan & meet with your business advisor: Using your myWSU Academic Requirements report, fill out this form and plan when you will retake courses and when you will take all remaining requirements. Review and edit your completed form with your business advisor.
Raise your GPA: Follow your plan to retake classes and replace grades of C- and below until your business GPA is above 2.50. You may also take new business classes for which you meet the prerequisites. These can also be used to raise your business GPA. Add these new classes to the GPA calculator to see how how these new grades impact your GPA.

STEP 2: Apply for Re-Admission

When should I apply?	Deadline to Apply for Re-Admission	When will my application be reviewed & when will I be notified of the final decision?
Before the end of term in which your WSU Business GPA will be 2.50 or higher	Last day of Finals Week	Within 2 after Finals Week

During the semester you anticipate earning a 2.50 Business GPA, you may apply to be re-admitted back into the College. Decisions will be made after final grades are available and your business GPA can be verified. If you do not achieve the minimum GPA, you may reapply again in a future term.

Decisions will be based on your GPA and your application responses.
