requirements by taking the following offerings of the School of Continuing
Studies [which are available only to part-time students]:
· BSAC prefix all accounting courses
· BSBL prefix all business law courses
· BSFN prefix all finance courses
· BSMT prefix all management courses
· BSMK prefix all marketing courses
· CPST 100, 107, and 120
Full-time students interested in these areas of study may satisfy degree
requirements by taking courses offered through the A.B. Freeman School of
Business.
At any time, students can access automated degree audits from the University
Registrar's website (http://www.registrar.tulane.edu) showing all completed
courses and indicating the general degree requirements and major requirements
that remain to be fulfilled before graduation. Students should discuss their degree
audits with their advisers and report errors to their academic adviser as soon as
possible. Each student is responsible for knowing the exact degree requirements
as stated in the school sections of this catalog and for enrolling in appropriate
courses to satisfy those requirements.
ADVANCED STANDING AND EXEMPTION
Although the university awards placement or credit to students who have earned
sufficiently high scores on AP or IB exams, students not in these programs also
may have special expertise in a foreign language. Consequently, these
departments offer proficiency examinations. Students, who prove proficient in a
foreign language through a sufficiently high score on the College Board
Achievement Test or on the departmentally administered proficiency exams, are
exempted from the competency portion of the foreign language requirement only,
with no credit awarded; all students must take at least one foreign language course
in that language at Tulane University. Exemption may be given in other
departments on an individual basis.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)/INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
(IB) CREDITS
Advanced placement or college credit is awarded to students who receive the
required scores on the College Board AP exams as established by Tulane
University academic departments. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that
an official report of the AP test scores is sent to Tulane University.
When planning their fall schedules, first-year students should not enroll in courses
for which AP credit is expected. AP credit does NOT count toward the minimum
or maximum course load or toward the minimum number of earned credits
