4.1 General Information
The Office of the Registrar and the Faculty of Business Administration will assist students with any questions or problems which might arise concerning the interpretation of academic regulations. It is, however, the responsibility of students to see that their academic programs meet the University's regulations in all respects.
No student shall obtain more than one undergraduate business degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The Faculty of Business Administration may recommend that transfer credit for certain Business courses be awarded on the basis of successful completion of academic and professional courses that lead to a professional designation. Applications for transfer credit should be made through the Office of the Registrar.
With the exception of Faculty of Business Administration service courses outlined on the Faculty of Business Administration website, all BUSI courses at the 3000 level and higher are restricted to students who have been admitted to one of the programs outlined under General Degrees. Other students will be admitted to these courses only with the approval of the Academic Programs Office.
All business degree students will complete a common first year called Business One, after which they must apply for entry into either the Bachelor of Commerce or the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative). Modifications to Business One requirements for the Joint Degrees of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Music are outlined in Program of Study for the Bachelor of Commerce Component of the Joint Degrees of Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Music.

The full or part-time Bachelor of Commerce requires 120 successfully completed credit hours comprised of 30 credit hours completed during Business One, 90 credit hours completed after Business One, and three Business Professional Development seminars.
The 120 required credit hours are outlined below in Suggested Program of Study for the Bachelor of Commerce.
Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) courses are regulated by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Eligible CRW courses are indicated under Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Non-Business electives can be a 3 credit hour course chosen from any discipline except Business. A student must complete sixteen electives (48 credit hours), all of which can be non-Business electives. Of the sixteen electives (48 credit hours), a student has the option of completing a maximum of nine Business electives (27 credit hours).
A student is advised to consult with an academic advisor in the Academic Programs Office to discuss course selection throughout the program by email to busihelp@mun.ca.
