Special Academic Regulations for Organizational Leadership Degree Programs
To graduate with an OL B.S. degree students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above and a major GPA of 2.5 or above. The major GPA consists of all required and elective courses prefixed with OLS.
OLS, business, and technical courses taken more than 10 years ago will be reviewed to determine if the course can be used to fulfill program requirements.
Students receiving credit for cooperative education experience can use these credits as unrestricted electives only. If you complete three (3) credits in OL cooperative education, you may use these to fulfill one of your OL electives.
If you have not registered for degree-applicable courses as a Purdue Fort Wayne OL major for two consecutive semesters (excluding summer), you must satisfy the degree requirements specified in the Purdue Fort Wayne catalog that includes your year of re-entry.
Note
Lists of specific courses required for each career concentration are available online and at the OL office (Neff 288). Other options for filling this requirement include using a Purdue Fort Wayne-recognized minor as a basis for your concentration area or designing a concentration that reflects your own career goals. If the minor you select includes courses that overlap with OL required courses (for example, Psychology, Communication, or Business), additional courses in the minor content area will be required to fulfill the 18 credit hours in the declared minor. Your proposal for an alternative concentration and a formal plan of study must be accepted by an OL faculty advisor and approved by the OL Curriculum Committee. If your plan is approved, it will become a formal part of your degree requirements.
Student Responsibility
You are responsible for ensuring that you satisfy all graduation requirements specified for each selected program. Thus, it is essential that you develop a thorough understanding of the required courses, academic policies, and procedures governing your academic career. If you cannot complete all program requirements by your stated graduation date but fail to remove those from your plan of study, the Registrar’s Office in consultation with your academic advisor will remove unmet pursuits from your plan of study. Changing curricular records during the graduation term of application may affect state or federal financial aid awards. All requests for exceptions to specific requirements must be made in writing and may be granted only by written approval from the appropriate chair or dean.
