2011 Full-Time MBA Blog

Students may withdraw from FT MBA modules as follows:

• Students may withdraw from courses in the full-time MBA program in which they are registered at any time during the first week (i.e. after no more than 4 hours of teaching) with no penalty.  
• Students who withdraw after more than 4 hours of teaching will receive a “W” standing on their transcript.  A “W” standing does not affect grade point average.
• Students who withdraw after the second week (eg: 8 hours of teaching) will receive a standing of “F” on their transcript. A standing of “F” affects grade point average.

Students are permitted to withdraw from PT MBA modules as follows:

• For modules that begin on Friday evenings, students can withdraw with no penalty via the Student Service Centre provided they do so prior to the start of the next class (i.e. after no more than 4 hours of teaching.)
• For modules that begin on Saturday or Sunday, students can withdraw with no penalty via the Student Service Centre provided they do so on the same day prior to the start of afternoon class (i.e. after no more than 4 hours of teaching.)

All withdrawals should be done through the Student Service Centre, however if a student is unable to drop a module through the Student Service Centre, they should email askmba@sauder.ubc.ca at the MBA Programs Office before the withdrawal deadline.

For those who are interested in getting a locker, there are still a few left. The remaining lockers will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to use a locker, please contact askmba@sauder.ubc.ca

This is a reminder that, unless otherwise noted on your account on the Student Service Centre, your next tuition payment is due by no later than the end of the day, Wednesday, September 5, 2012.

Two modules have been added to the electives list for the Strategic Management Specialization requirements.

BAMS 580C Managerial Decision Modeling & Analytics  – added to the Strategic Analysis list

BASD 580D Corporate Sustainability Applied – added to the Business Environment list

If you are planning to achieve the Strategic Management Specialization, you may want to review your registration choices for P5 & P6 in light of these changes.

If you have any questions or would like some academic advising for your upcoming modules please contact theresa.scott@sauder.ubc.ca

The revised specialization requirements will be posted on the website and Vista as of Tuesday.

Important information for logging into Sauder computers:

On the evening of Friday, August 24^th Sauder IT will be changing the PC Lab login IDs for all existing students to be their CWL.stu login IDs. This is part of the University’s efforts to ensure compliancy with the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act by removing student personal information from the Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) system. So starting from Saturday, August 25^th you must remember to add .stu to your CWL login in order to get access to the computer labs.

If you encounter any problems please contact the Sauder IT Help Desk at 604-822-0031.
