Registration Notes

  • To register in MA102 or MA103 you must first complete the mandatory online Calculus Preparation Evaluation (CPE). Based on the results of the CPE, you may be required to complete MA102 before registering in MA103. For Double Degree programs, the CPE is not required to register in MA103. For all programs, the CPE is not required for MA129 or MA123.
  • Elective credits may be chosen from other faculty offerings. BBA students do not have access to ENTR100, OL courses, or MB courses. Those students hoping to transfer to BBA should not take ENTR100, OL courses, or MB courses.
  • Required first year BU courses may not be taken by online learning (OC sections) for BBA and double degree students; they must be taken in-class and on-campus as assigned (pre-registered). Do not attempt to change these assigned courses.
  • Information regarding options and minors can be found in the academic calendar, Lazaridis School of Business and Economics.
