Students with Disabilities
Federal and state law and University of California policies require the University to provide reasonable accommodations in its academic programs to students with disabilities, including students with learning disabilities. For more information on resources available to students with disabilities, contact the Office of Admissions and Student Services Office in Room 106 AOB IV or the Student Disability Center (DRC) in 160 South Silo, 752-3184.

Registering for Classes
Students register for classes via the web using SISWEB. Detailed instructions for registering via the web are published quarterly in the UC Davis Class Schedule and Registration Guide which may be purchased at the UCD Bookstore and is available online on the Registrar's Office. 

Be sure to register for your classes before the fee payment deadline, since registering for your classes is what generates a fee statement. Not registering on time will result in receiving a fee statement after the fee payment deadline, which will require you to pay a $50 late fee to register.

Quarterly class schedules are on our website. If you are enrolling in a section of MGT 299, contact the GSM Admissions and Student Services office to obtain a 299 Request Form. MGT 299 courses must first be sponsored by a GSM faculty member (not an adjunct) and approved by the GSM Graduate Advisor before Admissions and Student Services can issue you a Course Registration Number. All 299 courses are 3 units.  MGT 299 forms are available in the Admissions and Student Services office in 106 AOB IV or on the website.

Please note: All MGT courses, including MGT 298 elective courses, are three (3) unit courses. Definition of “Full-time” students for registration purposes as defined by University of California: To be defined as a “full-time” graduate student at UC Davis, you must be enrolled in at least 12 units during any given quarter.

Adding and Dropping Classes
Deadlines for adding or dropping classes are published each quarter in the UC Davis Class Schedule and Registration Guide.

After the add and drop deadlines have passed, students are required to get both the dean’s and the instructor’s approval to add or drop a course. Students may obtain a Permission to Add (PTA) /Permission to Drop (PTD) form from the Office of Admissions and Student Services and have the appropriate signatures on the form before Student Services staff can issue the student a PTA or PTD number. 

Once the student has the PTA/PTD number, the student can then call RSVP or go to the web site and use the PTA/PTD number to enroll in or drop the course. A PTA/PTD number is always used in combination with the CRN. You must use the PTA/PTD number within three days after the day it is issued by the Admissions and Student Services office. PTA/PTD numbers expires after the third day and is no longer valid. PTA/PTD numbers are not available after the seventh week of the quarter.

Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society
The mission of Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and honor academic achievement and personal excellence in the study and practice of business.  Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest national recognition a business student can receive at an AACSBI school.  Its membership of 375,000 comprises the brightest and best of business leaders.

Full-time students, who have completed 36 units of coursework by the end of their first year (spring quarter) and rank in the top 20 percent of eligible full-time students, are offered membership in Beta Gamma Sigma (usually in late October, early November)  and recognition is given at the annual Student Recognition Gala in December.  (Note:  There is no GPA cut-off for membership.  GPA ranges vary year to year depending on how many eligible students are in the pool.)

Independent Study - MGT 299
Students may design a course of independent study (MGT 299) under the supervision of a faculty member (not an adjunct) and with authorization of the Graduate Advisor. Courses of independent study will be assigned a grade of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. For more information on MGT 299, please refer to Section 4.7 in the Policy and Procedures Manual.

Testing Out of a Core Class
Students may "test out" of a core class by passing an exam given by the course professor. Testing out of a class does NOT mean equivalent course credit has been given. A substitute course must be taken and the 72 unit requirement must still be fulfilled. Refer to GSM Policies and Procedures section for policies covering "testing out" of core courses. Once the faculty notifies the Student Services office, Student Services will then e-mail you to let you know you have successfully tested out of the core class.

Student Evaluations of Classes & Professors
At the end of each quarter, students are asked to evaluate each course in which they are enrolled. The anonymous course evaluation will be used by the Graduate School of Management in evaluating its instructional program and academic personnel and will be helpful to the instructor in course planning and teaching improvement. Instructors will not be able to review evaluations until after grades have been turned in.

Academic Good Standing
The University requires that graduate students maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to remain in good standing and to receive a degree. The requirement is absolute and cannot be waived. See Academic Probation in the GSM Policy and Procedures Section 7.1

Code of Academic Conduct
The University of California has a Code of Academic Conduct by which all students must abide. This code is published each quarter in the UC Davis Class Schedule and Registration Guide. All members of the academic community are responsible for the academic integrity of the Davis campus. Existing policies forbid cheating on examinations, plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is contrary to the purposes of the University and will not be tolerated. Details may be obtained from the Student Judicial Affairs, located at 300 Dutton Hall, (530) 752-1128.

Grades
Grades are posted on the campus Registrar’s home page under “Students”. If students wish to obtain official written documentation of their grades, they may request a copy of their transcript from the Registrar’s Office in Mrak Hall for a fee. Grades will not be given out verbally. Grade points are assigned each letter grade as follows:
