Academic Advising Office
Dear Graduate Student,
Congratulations on your acceptance to Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business! You worked hard
to get to this point, and you are about to discover how much it was worth the effort. Graduate study at the
Gabelli School will open a new exciting chapter in your life.
During your time at Fordham, you will find yourself immersed in many challenging, engaging and
sometimes frustrating tasks. Our academic advising team is here to support you. As you begin your
Fordham journey, we will share some simple but important advice: take in as much information as you can,
get to know the fellow travelers you have in your classmates and friends, ask for directions frequently,
check often to make sure that you are on the right path, and most importantly, enjoy the trip.
It is our pleasure to present the “First Trimester Guidebook,” which holds the important information you
need as a new student for course selection and registration as well as student clubs, special services for
international students, and much more.
We are sure you visited our website as an applicant. Now is an ideal time to revisit the site through the eyes
of an incoming student. Go to the “Graduate” menu and choose “Graduate Student Resources.” Please
explore the information there, and log into your personal account at http://my.fordham.edu to look at the
“New Student” tab. Combined, these two pages will offer you a valuable overview. You also can reach out
to your advisor for specific information. Our academic advising page will offer you the contacts you need.
We welcome you to the Fordham family and look forward to meeting you at New Student Orientation. We
are confident that you will find it to be an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
Very truly yours,
Lawrence Mur’ray

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO REMEMBER
New Student Orientation
All new students are required to attend orientation which is a multi-day event. We will provide the specific
details of your orientation dates, times, and activities. Unless otherwise specified, attire is business casual.
You will receive an email with a link to more information on orientation and to RSVP.
Be sure to check our website for newly admitted students for specific times and updated information. If you
have questions, contact the Academic Advising Office at (212) 636-6104 or [email protected].
Registering for Classes
For details of the registration process, please refer to the PDF available on the “Student” tab of
my.fordham.edu. Click here for the PDF.
New Student Registration usually begins two months prior to each term and ends one week after the start of
classes. You may add or drop classes at 100% refund until the first week of classes has concluded.
Following the first week of classes, the University Portal will not be accessible for adding/dropping classes
online. At this time, if you need to make adjustments to your schedule, you must contact the Academic
Advising Office. Be aware that after the first week, you will no longer receive a 100% refund for classes
you drop. Please refer to the refund policy and associated dates listed on the academic calendar. After the
first week of classes, any courses that are dropped will result in a "W" (withdrawal) on the student’s
transcript.
Using my.fordham.edu for registration
● My.fordham.edu will be accessible for new student registration beginning at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time
on the first date available to new students (see the Academic Calendar for the date). Afterward, it
will remain accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The system will not allow you to register
before the appointed time.
● Registration dates for future semesters will be determined by how many earned credits you have.
Earned credit is credit you receive by actually registering, completing, and receiving a passing grade
for a class. Waived courses do not count towards earned credit hours.
● There is no wait list for courses that have closed out because they’ve reached their maximum
number of registrants, so it is a good idea to prepare a few possible schedules in case some of your
desired classes are closed.
● Once you have claimed your AccessIT ID, log on to my.fordham.edu by entering the AccessIT ID
and password you chose.
● Click on the “Student” tab at the top of the page.
● The “Banner XE Registration” box at the left side of the page contains everything you will
need to complete your registration.

GUIDE TO FIRST-TRIMESTER CLASS SELECTION: FULL-TIME
COHORT MBA
The full-time Cohort MBA program starts only once a year, in the fall. Students will be registered for
the first trimester classes by their academic advisor. Therefore, there is no need to worry about
registration.
The advisor will email the cohort course schedule in early/mid-July. Cohort classes will be offered
during mornings and daytime slots. Cohort classes are not posted on the my.fordham.edu class schedule.
MBA cohort students will take the following five classes (15 credits) in their first trimester:
ACGB 6111 Fundamentals of Accounting – twice a week in the first half of the term
MGGB 6613 Fundamentals of Management – twice a week in the first half of the term
DGGB 6830 Statistics and Decisions – twice a week in the second half of the term
FNGB 6411 Introduction to Financial System and Methods – twice a week in the second half of the
term
BEGB 6220 Economic Analysis and Business Decisions – once a week for the whole term
Students also will be required to complete the pre-MBA Basic Statistics self-study with an online test
that our statistics faculty has designed to access your proficiency with basic probability and statistics
concepts. This self-study and test are required in order to prepare you for the Statistics and Decisions
course, as well as subsequent MBA courses. Your professors will assume that you know these concepts
when starting classes. Your advisor will send you information how to access online materials in
early/mid-July.

registering for classes from which you are waived. If you were not waived out of classes, you may take

*Please note: BE6220 Economic Analysis of Business Decisions and AC6111 Fundamentals of Accounting are
co-requisites for FN6411 Introduction to Financial System and Methods, which means that the two classes can
be taken concurrently with or before FN6411.
If you have received waivers of three of more courses, and this combination does not appear on the list, please
email Ilze Frierson at [email protected] for assistance in selecting the most appropriate courses.
● Most upper level Communications and Media Management courses do not require prerequisites, so
you also may take a CMGB course as an elective (or concentration course if Communications and
Media Management is your concentration) as long as there is room in your program to do so.
● Depending on your concentration(s), you should try to plan your schedule for the first few trimesters
as strategically as possible. Many concentrations have upper-level prerequisites that you need to
plan for. For instance, if you are pursuing a finance concentration, you most likely will take FNGB
7421 Principles of Modern Finance as it is a prerequisite for most other upper-level finance courses.
However, to take Principles of Modern Finance, you first must take FNGB 6411 Intro to Financial
System and Methods, which requires BEGB 6220 Economic Analysis and Business Decisions and
ACGB 6111 Fundamentals of Accounting as co-requisites. Co-requisite means that classes can be
taken concurrently.

GUIDE TO FIRST-TRIMESTER CLASS SELECTION: MS IN
ACCOUNTING

baccalaureate degrees in public accounting. Generally, this program is designed to meet the 150-credit-hour

in accounting, would qualify them to sit for the NYS CPA examination.
There is a minimum residency requirement of 30 credits (10 courses).

II) Candidates whose native language is not English and who have not completed the full four years of
an undergraduate program in the United States or United Kingdom are required to take:

TAXATION
The Master of Science in Taxation is a 10-course, 30-credit* program, comprised of seven required taxation
courses and three tax/accounting electives.
This program is designed for professional accountants, attorneys, and business professionals who wish to
acquire expertise in taxation and obtain a graduate degree in the field.
This program can also supplement an undergraduate degree in public accounting to meet the 150-credit-hour
educational requirement for the NYS CPA examination. However, because undergraduate accounting
programs vary greatly across the country and around the world, students should visit www.nasba.org to
determine whether this program, in conjunction with their specific baccalaureate degree, would qualify them
for the New York State CPA examination. There is a minimum residency requirement of 30 credits (10
courses).

ADVISING
We recommend new students come in for academic advising during—not prior to—their first term. It is
important to go through orientation first because you will find that many of the most frequently asked
questions will be covered by that week-long program. However, if you have questions regarding your
program after reading this First Trimester Guidebook or would like to set up an appointment to discuss
your first trimester courses, you may call the Academic Advising Office at (212) 636-6104.
We kindly request that MBA students come in for academic advising three times throughout their
studies:
1. During your first term to declare your concentration and to learn about the full range of academic
options available to you.
2. At the halfway point of your program to double check that you are on track. At this stage, we can
help you to identify relevant concentration and elective courses for your career.
3. Before you start your last term to ensure that your final course selections meet all requirements for
your program of study.
Students in non-cohort MS programs (MS in Accounting, MS in Taxation, and MS in Media
Management) should come in for academic advising at least two times throughout their studies:
1. During the first term to receive your program of study sheet.
2. Before you start your last term to make sure that your final course selections allow you to meet all
requirements for your program of study.
Students in MS in Global Finance and MS in Quantitative Finance programs do not register for classes
on their own. The Assistant Dean for the MSGF and MSQF, listed below, will register these students.

*Total does not take waived classes into consideration.
How long does it take to complete the Professional MBA program?
By taking two classes each term, a part-time student can finish the Professional MBA in four years. By
taking four classes each term, a student can finish the Professional MBA in two years. Please note that
neither of these estimates takes waivers into account. Students who have been waived out of classes or who
take more classes per term may be able to complete the program earlier.
How long does it take to complete the Cohort MBA program?
The Full-Time Cohort MBA program is a 21-month program that starts in September and ends in the May
two years following. This is a structured program. Students in this program do not have the flexibility that
the Professional MBA program offers.
What is the typical course load for a Professional MBA student?
Professional MBA students in a part-time schedule usually take two classes (six credits) per term but can
take more or less classes if necessary. Please note that international students must take at least three classes
(nine credits) per term to maintain full-time status which is important for visa status.
What is the typical course load for a Cohort MBA student?
Full-Time Cohort MBA students take five classes per term (in the first year fall and spring and second year
fall and spring) and pursue an internship after their first year in summer.
What is an MBA concentration? How do I change my concentration?
MBA students may choose a single or dual concentration which represents their primary academic focus.
31
The options are: accounting, communications and media management, finance, information systems,
management, marketing, and public accounting. To change a concentration that was previously declared,
students must contact their academic advisor.
What is the difference between breadth electives and free electives in the Professional MBA?
Breadth electives are designed to offer academic opportunities in several other business disciplines.
Therefore, they may not be taken within your area(s) of concentration—and you can only take two in any
given outside academic area (the goal is variety!) Students pursuing a single concentration are required to
take five breadth electives and those pursuing a dual concentration must take three. Free electives can be
any course that is either from your area of concentration or not. You can choose any upper-level graduate
business course you like to complete your free electives.
Which courses are considered upper-level?
Upper-level, or advanced, courses are 7000- or 8000-labeled courses.
What should I do if I need to take a term off?
You will need to register for Maintenance of Matriculation on my.fordham.edu. First, you will need to
contact the Academic Advising Office for assistance because you cannot complete this process on your
own. You may maintain matriculation for up to six (6) trimesters—as long as you complete all of your
degree requirements within six years—and will be billed $40 for each term you are away. If you take a term
off and do not maintain your matriculation, your student status will be discontinued. Please note that you
cannot apply for maintaining matriculation in your first term, and there might be additional restrictions for
students in the cohort programs. If you cannot attend the first term, you will need to defer your admission.
Can an international student take a leave of absence?
International students wishing to take the third trimester off must maintain matriculation. Always check
with the Office of International Services to ensure that you are legally maintaining your student status.
There might additional restraints for students in cohort programs.
Can I receive credit for an internship?
MBA students may receive course credit for up to two internships. During the summer term, the Gabelli
School offers internship classes in some areas which students can register for with faculty approval. To
receive credit for an internship during the fall or spring term, make an appointment with the Academic
Advising Office to fill out an internship application form. This requires approval from the area chair of the
department the internship pertains to as well as a full-time professor to supervise the academic work for the
course. Students will need to submit a letter on company letterhead stating the nature of the internship as
well as the start and end dates. In both scenarios, students will be billed for 3 credits. International students
who wish to obtain credit for an internship must fill out a CPT form in addition to the above requirements.
This form is available at the Office of International Services. In general, MS students may receive course
credit for one internship. MS students should contact their academic advisor for details. Students will be
billed for three credits per internship for a maximum of two internships.
Please see here for more information.
After I register, when will I receive my bill?
You should receive your bill about three weeks after you register for classes. Students who do not pay the
entire tuition bill by the due date on their statement will be assessed a 1.5% monthly finance charge on their
32
overdue balance.
What is the University’s refund policy regarding dropped classes?
The University allows students to drop classes online at a 100% refund through the first week of classes.
Thereafter the University will refund a percentage of tuition based on the number of weeks that have passed
since the beginning of the term. After the first week of classes, you may no longer add/drop classes online.
You will need to contact the Academic Advising Office to withdraw from a class.
How do I know where my classes are located?
Room assignments will be posted shortly before classes start and can be accessed on your detailed schedule
under the “Registration Status” section of the my.fordham.edu "Registration Tools" box.
Do I need a minimum GPA to graduate?
Yes. To graduate, you must maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. If, after any term, you fall below a
3.0, you will be put on academic probation. At that time, your academic advisor will assign a specific time
to raise your GPA to the minimum level, or you may be withdrawn from the program. The Gabelli School
reserves the right to put on probation any student whose GPA falls below 3.0.
Can I take classes at another school?
Professional MBA students, under special circumstances, may study at another school. However, these
courses may not be taken within the tri-state area. Professional MBA students may take a maximum of
12 credits abroad, studies must be completed at an AACSB accredited school (www.aacsb.edu), and all
courses must be approved in advance by the Academic Advising Office. The Gabelli School has
partnerships with ESADE School of Business in Barcelona, the BiMBA program in Beijing, SKEMA
Business School in France (Paris, Lille, Sophia Antipolis), and Koc University in Istanbul. Students in MS
programs are not allowed to participate in semester-long study-abroad programs.
33
STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Student Advisory Council (SAC) is the principal student organization of the Gabelli School of
Business graduate programs. This is the appropriate channel for all students’ feedback about programs,
curriculum, administrative services, and faculty.
SAC is an elected body consisting of a president, three vice presidents—one for full-time students, one for
part-time students, and one for international students—a treasurer, and a social chair. In addition to
holding their own regular meetings, SAC officers and members participate in orientation, graduation,
admissions information sessions, and other key events. As the umbrella organization for the Gabelli
School’s graduate business clubs, SAC oversees club budgets, stimulates interest in school activities, and
supplies a valuable student perspective to the Dean’s office. Through presentations, club programs, and
social gatherings, SAC promotes ties with alumni and the business community.

IDENTIFICATION CARDS
The Fordham Duplicating Center/ID Center, located down the hall from Quinn Library, near McMahon
Hall, issues, validates, and replaces Fordham University ID cards throughout the year. During registration
periods, the center is open for extended hours.
All new students must upload a picture through my.fordham.edu in jpeg format for their ID card. Avoid
uploading large pictures. You will need a University ID card to enter any Fordham building. The
magnetically encoded card is your official University ID. Students must already have registered for their
courses to receive their ID cards. For your first term, you may pick up your ID card at orientation or
during the first week of classes before the start of each class on the sixth floor of the Lowenstein Building.
Your new ID card is an essential part of campus life at Fordham University, and you will want to keep it
with you at all times. Should your card be lost or stolen, please report it immediately to Fordham
University Security at (212) 636-6075. To obtain a replacement, you may go to the Duplicating/ID Center
during regular business hours. There is an initial $20.00 fee for replacing a lost or stolen ID Card. There is
a $30.00 fee for every subsequent occurrence or request. The fee will be waived if you present proper
documentation from the Security Office or Police Department indicating the theft of your card. The fee
may be waived for replacing a broken or damaged ID card, but the defective card must be turned in to a
staff member at the time of request.
Uploading Your Photo
New Students:
● Log into my.fordham.edu and click on the Student tab.
● Go to Photo ID Services to upload your photo.
● Your photo should be a small size and in JPEG format

Services.
