- A minimum GPA of 2.50 overall is required for enrollment in any upper-division (3000-level or 4000-level) accounting course.
- Accounting courses at the 4000-level also require a minimum GPA of 2.50 in all upper-division accounting courses successfully completed at UNO to date (excluding ACCT 3000, ACCT 4500, and ACCT 4510).
- Students who wish to contract to take upper-division accounting courses as “honors” courses should contact the course instructor.
