Junior Division
First-time students enter the Junior Division where guidance is available regarding scheduling of courses, choosing a major field of study, and developing a career plan during the student's first two years of study. All students are assigned an advisor from among the business faculty, and are encouraged to meet with the assigned academic advisor regularly.

Upper Division
Students may apply for admission to the Upper Division of the College of Business Administration after completing a minimum of 30 semester hours, not including developmental work, with a minimum 2.25 GPA. In addition, the student must have earned a minimum grade of "C" in English 102, Accounting 201, Economics 201 or 202, Business Systems, Analysis, and Technology (Management Information Systems) 205 or a "Computer Proficiency" exam, and a minimum grade of "D" in Math 105. Only students in Upper Division may register for 300 and 400-level courses offered by the College of Business Administration.

Transfer Students
After transfer students are admitted to the University, their transcripts are reviewed in the Dean's office and by the department head in the student's major. Courses completed elsewhere are individually accepted or rejected based on comparability to courses at UL Lafayette. In addition to general University regulations concerning transfer credit and degree requirements, a transfer student pursuing the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must complete at least fifty percent of the business credit hours required for the degree at UL Lafayette.

Transfer students must fulfill catalog requirements in effect at the time of their transfers. This applies to all students who transfer from another university or from another college at UL Lafayette. Students transferring from one department to another within the College of Business Administration (i.e., changing majors within the College) may remain under their original catalog requirements so long as they have been continuously enrolled in the College of Business Administration and otherwise are eligible to do so.
