Moving into Upper Division

The steps below illustrate how your student record is updated and how eligibility for Upper Division (UD) Daniels School of Business courses is determined. Once you have completed the survey in Step 3, your student record will be changed to reflect that you are in Upper Division (UD) and are no longer a pre-major. This will allow for you to register for Upper Division DSB courses.

After grades post for the semester, a team of advisors will review all Upper Division records. They will calculate your individual Management Admissions Index (MAI) or Economics Admissions Index (EAI) to determine eligibility.

If you finish your current semester meeting the requirements, you will remain in your UD courses.
If you finish your current semester not meeting the requirements, you will need to drop any UD courses. Your major will be changed back to lower division (pre-major). You will need to work with your academic advisor on next steps.
You will be notified via email if you have been accepted or denied access to Upper Division. More instructions on how to proceed will be included in that email.
