Business Status Application

Incoming and Continuing Students Completing Pre-Business Courses in Summer 2024:

Select the Business Status Application that corresponds to your option and carefully fill it out:

Business Status Application (Accounting Students Only)

Business Status Application (All other Business options, not Accounting)

  • Please allow 5-7 business days for your application to be processed.
  • The application is available now and the deadline to apply is July 12, 2024.  Applications received after this date will be placed on hold and processed as space becomes available.
  • If you are taking classes at a community college, please attach evidence of enrollment (an unofficial transcript) using the link in the application.  We cannot process your application unless we have your transcript.

  • Incoming first-year students (admitted Fall 2024) do not need to submit a Business Status Application.

Once we receive the completed application, and all requirements are met with at least a 2.65 GPA and a C or higher in each pre-business course, you will be granted conditional business status. This will allow you to enroll into upper division business courses. 

The deadline to submit final grades from a community college to CoBA is August 16, 2024. Submit your final grades in addition to submitting your official transcript to Office of Registrar.

Summer 24 Grade Submission Form

  • Failure to meet this deadline and/or meeting all requirements for Business Status will result in your status being moved back to Pre-Business and subsequently dropped from any upper-division business courses you may have enrolled in for Fall 2024.
