When to contact the PPIA advisor
|
You are welcome to contact the PPIA advisor by phone or email
whenever you need information about the graduate programs. However,
some specific occasions to make contact might be:
To obtain information about the PPIA
program
Successful undergraduate accounting majors should consider the PPIA
program as it provides the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's and
master's degree in less time than if taken separately. Entry into the
PPIA program takes place before completion of the bachelor's degree, so
a student needs to coordinate the application process to take advantage
of the time and course savings of the program. A potential PPIA student
should contact either the undergraduate or graduate accounting advisor
when they have completed Financial Accounting I (ACCT 3312) to get
information about the program. The advisor will give the potential
applicant information about the application process.
When submitting the PPIA
application
The PPIA applicant should submit their application to the Graduate
Advisor in the Department of Accounting. The advisor accumulates the
application materials (application form, recommendations, and
transcripts) for purposes of making the admission decision.
Upon acceptance into the PPIA program
When you are accepted into the PPIA program, you will need to meet
with the graduate advisor to set up a program of work. This is the
outline of courses necessary for you to complete your degree. The
advisor will also give you information about the timing and sequence of
courses.
When changing courses in your program
of work
If you need to make a change to your program of work, contact the
graduate advisor. The advisor will check and make certain the new course
is acceptable in your degree and enter it into your program of work so
you can register for it.
If your GPA drops below a 3.0
Graduate students in the Department of Accounting must maintain a
3.0 GPA both overall and in accounting coursework. If your GPA falls
below this minimum contact the graduate advisor to discuss your
continuance in the graduate program.
If you interrupt your enrollment for a
Fall or Spring semester
Graduate students are required to be continuously enrolled during long
semesters (Fall and Spring). Not attending a Summer semester is not a
problem, but if a student attends a long semester and does not enroll in
the next long semester, then they must request readmission. The
readmission application is a simple, one-page form, but it must be
completed and approved before the student can enroll in classes. In
order to allow sufficient processing time, a student should obtain this
form from the Graduate Admissions office in Davis Hall and submit it at
least 60 days prior to the start of the semester in which they wish to
return to graduate school.
