Important Information for Accounting Students

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

If you are an accounting major who took ACCT 205 as your first course (as opposed to ACCT 210 and 215) be sure to register for ACCT 317 (Cost Accounting) THIS FALL if you haven’t already taken that course. In the spring of 2010 ACCT 317 will change slightly to accommodate students in the new curriculum, so it’s important for those of you who took ACCT 205 to have that course done before next spring. Questions? Contact your business program advisor or any accounting faculty member.
