Students with Upper Division Status in the Herberger Business School (HBS) are assigned a dedicated faculty advisor. Business majors without Upper Division Status are advised through the HBS Advising and Student Success Center, where they may work with any available advisor.

If you are planning to major in business, you do not need to visit Advising & Student Transitions.

Overrides are granted by business advisors only when students cannot build a 15-credit schedule using their remaining liberal education and lower business core courses. To be eligible for an upper division override, you must have a 2.5 GPA or higher and have completed the Group 1 Lower Business Core. Contact a business advisor for more details.

No. In the Herberger Business School, only departments—not individual instructors—have the authority to issue overrides for full classes.

A degree audit report is an online tool that shows your progress toward completing your degree. It lists all requirements for graduation and indicates which courses satisfy those requirements.

Degree audit reports are available to all admitted students who have declared a major. To access your report, log in to eServices, select "Grades and Transcripts" from the left menu, and then click "Interactive Degree Audit Report."

If you plan to graduate with two business majors, you must complete at least 24 unique credits in each major. Some courses may not be double-counted, and certain major combinations may not be allowed.

No. A course cannot be double-counted between the business core and your major. You must designate the course for use in only one area.

You may request a major change by completing the Change Major form online.

Use the online GPA calculator to estimate your unofficial GPA.

Although an “F” will remain on your transcript, if you repeat the course, only the higher of the two grades will count toward your GPA.

No. The minimum GPA required for Upper Division Status in HBS is 2.5. This requirement cannot be waived.

Yes. To remain in good academic standing at St. Cloud State University, undergraduates must meet the following minimum cumulative GPA requirements (including transfer and developmental courses):

• 0–44 credits: 1.75 GPA
• 45 or more credits: 2.00 GPA

You must successfully complete at least 66.67% of all attempted credits, including transfer and developmental coursework. Withdrawals (W), failures (F, FN, FW, U), incompletes (I), and repeated courses will negatively impact this rate. Use the completion rate calculator to estimate your unofficial rate.

If your GPA or completion rate falls below the minimum, you will be placed on academic warning for the next semester. Continued deficiencies may lead to academic suspension. For details, visit the University College website. Students on academic warning must meet with an advisor to discuss probation terms.

In general, courses numbered 100 or higher (or 1000 or higher for colleges using four-digit course numbers) that earn a grade of C– or better will transfer from accredited colleges or universities. Grades of D+ or lower may transfer if the student has earned an Associate of Arts or Bachelor’s degree, completed the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, or if the course is part of the sending institution’s MnTC.

The Office of Records and Registration determines whether courses from other institutions are transferable. In most cases, a transfer course will be assigned an St. Cloud State University course number. If a course is not directly transferred as an St. Cloud State University equivalent, it must be reviewed and approved by the academic department that offers the corresponding course. Students are responsible for obtaining this departmental approval. Note that a course does not need to have a direct SCSU equivalent in order to be accepted for transfer credit.

If a course from a previous institution did not transfer to St. Cloud State University as expected, log in to eServices, navigate to "Academic Records," and select "Transfer Review" to submit a request. You may be asked to provide additional documentation such as:

• Course outline or description (Minnesota State institutions only)
• Course syllabus (preferred)
• Sample assignments or exams

Once a student is admitted to St. Cloud State University, the Office of Records and Registration conducts an initial evaluation of transfer credits. Courses that transfer to St. Cloud State University but are not assigned a specific course number are typically categorized as university electives.

If you believe a course placed in the university electives should be considered equivalent to a specific St. Cloud State University course, you may request a transfer course review through your degree audit report in eServices.

For more information, visit the Undergraduate Studies Placement Testing website.

Students who do not make payment arrangements by the due date may have their registration canceled. For more information, visit our Registration Policies page.
