MBA Notes
Spring 2012
PREREGISTRATION NOTE
Before you can register, all students must have a clear financial account, which includes the library, campus housing, bursar, and/or campus police (tickets). If you have any outstanding obligations at these agencies, they place a “hold” on your registration and you cannot be registered for classes until these outstanding obligations are cleared. If you are a new student, make sure you have your immunization requirement completed. If you have questions about your immunizations, contact the Student Health Center at 478-301-2696. Please clear these requirements before you attempt to register.
NEW REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Please note the new registration procedures for MyMercer. You can now register directly. If you have a problem, you should contact the help desk at 478-301-2922.
TUITION FEES
Tuition is due by the first day of the semester. You need to check MyMercer for your tuition bill. If you have a question, contact their office at 478-301-5512.
HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM
Mercer University requires each student to have health insurance coverage. A fee is automatically charged each semester on your tuition bill. Go to MyMercer to waive the coverage if you already have existing health insurance. DO NOT IGNORE THE NOTE. YOU MUST DO THIS WAIVER BY THE STATED DATE; OTHERWISE THE HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM CANNOT BE WAIVED. Contact the Bursar’s Office at 478-301-5512 if you have a question.
MERCER PARKING DECALS
If you need a 2011-2012 Mercer parking decal stop by STN 260 or call Bob Holland at 478-301-2835 to obtain a parking decal. You will need to know your tag number, so be sure to write it down. If you wish, you can stop by Mercer Police and obtain a parking decal.
TAKING COURSES IN ATLANTA
You may take classes on the Atlanta campus on a space-available basis. You should be aware that Atlanta courses are frequently closed-out and may require different prerequisites. If you are considering taking an Atlanta course, you should have a contingency plan in case you are not able to enroll in the Atlanta course. You should not try to directly enroll in Atlanta. Since you are a Macon student and your student records are maintained here, you are required to register through us.
WITHDRAW/DROP A COURSE
In order to drop or withdraw from a course, you need to complete a Drop/Add Form or Course Withdrawal Form. Have your instructor sign and date the form and return to the MBA Office. Forms are available in the SSBE office or the Registrar’s Office. The refund policy is outlined in the Mercer University Bulletin.
USING CAMPUS FACILITIES
If you plan to use any campus facilities such as the library, computer facilities, or the University Center you will need a Mercer ID card, which can be obtained from Auxiliary Services at no cost. Call 478-301-2741 if you have questions.
REMINDER ABOUT TRANSIENT COURSES
To receive transient credit for a course, the grade in the course must be at least a “B” and from an AACSB accredited institution. This requirement is standard throughout academia and is not unique to Mercer. Also you must request the school you attended to send a transcript to me at Mercer.
GRADUATION
MBA students MUST APPLY FOR GRADUATION in order to receive their degree. You need to go to Graduation Application page and click on Macon & Centers Graduation Application. Print off the form and send to the Registrar's Office. For spring and summer degrees, this must be done by November 1.
GPA REQUIREMENT
You are reminded of the requirement to have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in the MBA Program. If you fall below a 3.0 GPA, you will receive an academic warning. Any subsequent semester in which the GPA is below 3.0 would result in academic probation, academic suspension or academic exclusion.
NAME AND/OR ADDRESS CHANGES
If you have a name change, you need to contact the Registrar’s Office at 478-301-2680. If you have an address change, contact Bob Holland at 478-301-2835. Please keep your address current in case we need to contact you.
REFERRALS
We’re always looking for new students for the MBA Program. If you have any relatives, friends, and/or coworkers that might be interested in our program, ask them to give Bob a call at 478-301-2835 and he will send them an MBA Information Package.
