- 2Take CMNS 1115, rather than ENGL 1130
- 3Take ACCT 3470, as a substitute course for either CSIS 1190 or MARK 1120
- 4Choose the following courses as electives in order to obtain exemption for courses in the ACAF program: ACCT 3370, ACCT 4510 and ACCT 4750
- For ACAF course exemption, a minimum grade of C is required in each of the following courses: ACCT 1222, ACCT 2320, ACCT 3310, ACCT 3410, FINC 2340, CSIS 2200, ACCT 3420, ACCT 3370, ACCT 3470, ACCT 4510 and ACCT 4750
