MS Accountancy & MS Taxation Classification

MS Accountancy & MS Taxation Classification

A student’s status is changed to classified standing when an official Study Plan has been approved. An official study plan is approved once all the pre-classification requirements have been met. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the request for classified standing by either making an appointment with your Graduate Programs Advisor or filling out a petition for classification.

NOTE: Unclassified students have “restricted enrollment” until they have petitioned for classification and been approved.

 

When do I initiate a request?

Students will submit a petition for classification once they have enrolled in all required pre-classification courses. In addition the necessary documents must also be submitted from the list below:

Pre-classification Requirements:

  • MATH 135 Business Calculus or equivalent
    must be completed by the end of your second semester in the program
  • ISDS265 Intro. to Info Systems & Appl. or equivalent
    must be completed by the end of your second semester in the program
  • BUAD501 or equivalent
    must be completed in your first semester in the program with a "B" or better
  • Complete all foundation coursework
  • Complete Accounting Prerequisites with grades posted
  • Submit Concentration Approval Sheet
  • All Evaluation forms submitted and decision(s) finalized.

So that you do not run into registration problems keep in mind that it takes 4-5 business days to process your petition for classification. It is required that you petition for classification:

Spring Registration - Petitions should be filed no later than September 1st so that you do not run into registration problems with restricted courses in the Spring.

Summer Registration - Petitions should be filed no later than March 1st so that you do not run into registration problems with restricted courses in the Summer.

Fall Registration - Petitions should be filed no later than June 1st so that you do not run into registration problems with restricted courses in the Fall.

 

How do I initiate a request?

You are welcome to schedule an appointment using the online calendar. However, the most efficient way to request classification is by completing the request form below:

Fill out the Petition for Classification, based on your program and catalog year for your requirements:

MS Accountancy

Catalog Year:

  1. Spring 2017 and prior
  2. Fall 2018 and beyond

MS Taxation

Catalog Year:

  1. Fall 2018 and prior


Note: MSIT students are not required to file a petition.

Submit the petition via email to retentionspecialist@fullerton.edu . If you schedule an appointment use the calendar titled "classification" and bring a completed “Petition for Classification” with you to the meeting . The petition takes 4-5 business days to process.

 

What is Restricted Enrollment?

There are a limited number of courses open to students who have not petitioned or been granted classified status. Students who are unclassified are only eligible to enroll in unrestricted courses.
